Five People You Meet in Heaven excerpt

Babe, I'm really sorry to hear about your friend's death. You must be worrying and worrying your mind away right now. I wish i could kiss those worries away for you. For now, read this short paragraph from Five People You Meet in Heaven:

"My funeral," the Blue Man said. "Look at the mourners. Some did not even know me well, yet they came. Why? Did you ever wonder? Why people gather when others die? Why people feel they should?


"It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.


"You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day...But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole."
