I want to talk about this fantastic book that i read some time back.A book that has touched me in ways i cant explain. "Five people you meet in heaven" by Mitch Albom.The book gets you thinking about a lot of things but one of the things that really struck me is my own vision of heaven. In the book, Eddie dies and passes on.But before he can go to heaven he has to meet 5 people who will explain to him the meaning of his life. Give him the answers to the questions that have been eating him from inside. He meets each of the 5 people in their own vision of heaven. What i like to believe out of that is heaven may not be a place of white clouds and angels in long white dresses.Heaven might be a place that you long to be in. A place where you felt the happiest. Heaven might be a snowy christmas spent with your loved ones. Heaven might be a cottage on the beach where you went for your honeymoon. Now that opens a lot of room for imagination. What will my heaven be like?What place and time did i never want to let go and move on? Which is that time that i long for in my darkest moments? Which is the place where i feel i have left a piece of myself and i am no longer the same without it?This thought is so sweet i dont want to let it go. So what will be your heaven?
