The Five People You Meet in Heaven (The Five People You Meet in Heaven, #1)

by Mitch Albom

“THERE ARE FIVE people you meet in heaven,” the Blue Man suddenly said. “Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth.”

“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.

Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.”
