How do I get in...

After a long illness, a woman died and arrived at the
Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint
Peter to greet her, she peeked through the Gates.
She saw a beautiful banquet table.

Sitting all around were her parents and all the other
people she had loved and who had died before her.
They saw her and began calling greetings to her:
"Hello. How are you?
We've been waiting for you. Good to see you.

When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, "This
is such a wonderful place. How do I get in?"
"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her.
"Which word?" the woman asked.
"Love."
The woman correctly spelled "l-o-v-e," and Saint
Peter welcomed her into Heaven.
About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and
asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that
day. While the woman was guarding the Gates of
Heaven, her husband arrived. "I'm surprised to see
you," the woman said. "How have you been?"
"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her
husband told her. "I married the beautiful young
nurse who took care of you while you were ill. Then I
won the lottery. I sold the little house you and I
lived in and bought a big mansion.

My wife and I traveled all around the world. We were
on vacation, and I went water skiing today.
I fell, the ski hit my head, and here I am. How do I
get in?"=20
"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.
"Which word?" her husband asked.
"Czechoslovakia."
