First Phone Call from Heaven

by Mitch Albom

“The pain you go through in life doesn’t really touch you . . . not the real you. . . . You are so much lighter than you think.”

“Fear is how you lose your life . . . a little bit at a time. . . . What we give to fear, we take away from . . . faith.”

There are two stories for every life; the one you live, and the one others tell.

Sometimes what you miss the most is the way a loved one made you feel about yourself.

Desire sets our compass, but real life steers our course.

heaven is always and forever around us, and no soul remembered is ever really gone.

in time, He answers all calls, and He answered mine.
