Five People You Meet In Heaven

         The story is about a man named Eddie, a maintenance in charge in an amusement park who dies due to an accident, when one of the rides was broken and fell on top of him. After his death, he came up to heaven and met five people who had once influenced and became a part of his life. Each of them has their lessons in life given to Eddie. Five different meetings, five surprising and different truths was left to him.
The book for me is a must-read for every individual who feels unimportant here on earth and it would help them realize how much they were loved by the people that surrounds them. The first man he met in heaven was the Blue man. He told Eddie "Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth." Everyone of us has a purpose here on earth. We may not be able to know it now, but I know, someday, all questions will be answered. God has given us the chance to live because He has a purpose in doing so. We may not know how we influence other people, how we are able to change their minds and actions, their perceptions on things. We become part of others lives either we like it or not. I believe in the saying that "No man is an island". We can never be complete without the others. We cannot be the one who we are now without the help of people that surrounds us. We are not going to be as strong as steel without the support and love of our dear ones.

 I remembered one time, I went to a shopping mall having my small bag and wallet only. But due to the calling of nature, I went to the comfort room on the third floor to pee and after a minute,I went out to look at myself in the mirror. A saleslady went inside and the janitress was mopping the floor. That makes us three in the CR. I put my wallet on the tile to get my powder in my bag. And just like magic, after a blink of my eyes, my wallet was lost, and the saleslady was gone. I panicked because all my money was there and my USB with important files was there too. I cannot think of what to do that time. But luckily, the girlfriend of my big brother works there and I just thought of going to her to borrow money. She handed me twenty pesos, enough to send me home. 

I'm just curious if what's the feeling of being a dead person. My grandfather is dead and I am just curious if he able to touch a living person? Can he hear what I'm saying? Can he know what I am thinking? Can he walk on air? What does he wear now? And lastly, where is he now?

I predict that Eddie in the future will live happily in heaven. With his family beside him. He would make his own Ruby pier and he would enjoy living there. He will also spread good news to people there and he will share to them what he experienced before he got into his own paradise.
