No idea buddy but I wonder if the local Library would know?

This is way off topic, but one of you might know the story I'm talking about.

My buddy down in Florida is corresponding with a 96 year old former B29 aircraft commander and he mentioned a story, which he said was by Mark Twain (I tried to find, could not) about a person that lost a loved-one. In response to his prayers, an angel came down to show him what would have happened in the future if that one had lived and basically, it was a terrible outcome, so it was better that that person died early.

Now the potential for satire is there and it sounds like something Clemens would have done, but I've run through his novels and short stories and found nothing even close.

Any ideas? I know it sound a lot like 'It's a Wonderful Life', but it should predate it....

Thanks....Steve
