The 5 Ppl you meet in Heaven...

Oh yea! i mentioned earlier i wanted to read this book... and i finished reading it.. and again, it never disappoint me.. very good and meaningful... go catch it if u can. although personally i prefer tuesday with morrie and it let me see and understand more but this book is equally good la.. it managed to keep me reading and wanting to read to the end.

Basically it showed u 5 great lessons you will learn when u meet the 5 great people after you die and in heaven.. ( that's provided you go heaven hor... should he come out with another book... "the 5 ppl u meet in hell?" haha)

First, he (Eddie) met a blue man whom he doesn't know at all.. but so happen, he killed this man unknowingly when he was still a boy.... "Fairness... does not govern life and death. if it did, no good person would ever die young".. so if the blue man doesn't die in that accident, eddie would. who to decide to to die first then? no fairness in either case i think..

Next, he met his captain (he was in the war during his teen). "Sacrifice is part of life" be it big or little... hmmm

Following, he met the 3rd person -- A woman he don't know... Ruby, her name, is the lady staying by her sick husband in hospital and Eddie's father was bedded just beside them. Hence, she see and hear things that Eddie apparently is blind and deaf to. ( In the story, Eddie was not close to his dad, infact he dislike his dad).... " Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon and attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves" Wowowowowow.......

The fourth person Eddie met was his wife. His wife passed away many yrs ago due to cancer.. so Eddie got to live alone many yrs w/o his beloved wife.. " Lost love is still love. It takes a different form that's all!. Memory then becomes your partner, you nurture it, you hold it, you dance with it. Life has to end, love doesn't." Melts you heart instantly isn't it?? it does for me. haha...

and so.. tada.. the last person Eddie met in heaven is .... a little gal.. which he doesn't KNOW AGAIN!.... this story also deliver this message.... dun think people you don't know are strangers to you, they might have greatest impact in your life, just that you don't know yet. "Strangers... are just family you have yet to come to know..."

So this little girl is someone whom Eddie accidentally killed during his war time. he has no intention but burn this little girl alive. and Eddie blamed himself very hard on this mistake.. he hated himself and think he has never done anything right and important in his whole life. "You made contribution be it how tiny your task may be, hence do your best to every single task you are assigned" that is what i derived after reading the whole chapter.

The story ended with Eddie returning home -- heaven, wth his wife..

Meaningful ya? Next!!! i wan to read... FOR ONE MORE DAY, by Mitch Alborn too. Another life lesson to learn.
