            So Far in The Five People You Meet in Heaven

   When I took this book from the shelf it seemed short but once you open it one page feels like 1,000. The last part of this book is very shocking by revealing new secrets never told and people we haven't meet from Eddie's past. In my previous blog I mentioned that Eddie still has to meet three other people in heaven and I feel like these complete strangers impacted Eddie's life without him knowing. The setting was previously in a battlefield in some Japanese island but it suddenly changes to a snow mountain with a diner on the top. He notices that inside the diner it is filled with people that have been to Ruby Pier mostly complete strangers. Eddie is about to leave the diner when he suddenly witnesses his father sitting in a boot smoking one of his endless cigarettes. He decides not to approach his father after all Eddie's father refused to talk to him before he died. A strange force pulls him away from the door a woman that seems to be in her 50's dressed 60's style.

                      My Favorite Moral from this book

   This might not be a shocker but this book has exactly five morals that can help us in our daily lives. In the book every time Eddie meets a new person they give some moral at the end of the chapter that affected their lives when they were on earth. The saddest encounter was when Eddie meet in the fourth person which was actually his wife. They go through allusions of weddings from all over the world because they all teach the same thing whatever the language. The moral she teaches at the end of the chapter is that "love is never lost even in death." This might seem confusing but this actually tells the truth and in fact it can even heal the wounds of those who have lost a loved one. I'm very religious which makes me believe a lot in the afterlife and our meaning on earth. When I think of afterlife I automatically think of heaven the only place in this universe in which love keeps people floating. We as humans feel a cloak of sadness when someone dies but we never know when we'll meet them again.


              The Other Morals in the book and My Explanation.

    I mentioned before that there were exactly five morals that can change our lives the same way they changed Eddie's life. The first person was the Blue Man a man who died due to the clumsiness of a 7-year old Eddie. The moral he teaches is that "one way or another we are connected to each other". This basically saying that we might meet stranger one day but our presence impacted his life without us knowing. The other tow morals are "we need to make sacrifices" and  "release anger and learn the power of forgiveness." In the past I have read a lot of books that have to do with near death experiences which made me choose the fourth moral. When we're alive we might never see a person we love because they're are in another country or simply just still alive. When we think of that person the love connection between the two is never forgotten it's just simply in another place. I advice people that have lost a loved one to just imagine them in heaven living an eternity of happiness.
