The Five People You Meet In Heaven

I finished reading a glorious book yesterday called ´The Five People You Meet In Heaven´by Mitch Arbom. I wont say anything about it as you should all read it.

However, which five people would you hope to meet in Heaven and why? Picking two that you really know, and two that you barely know and one a stranger. Say the girl you saw at the supermarket yesterday....

The ending was really moving and when the 4th person Eddie meets had to leave him in Heaven. I dont want to say too much. It was incredibly inspiring and moving.

She already read it. She gave it to me before I went away to read but I never got round to it. Luckily there was a copy of it in the last hostel I was staying in.

Mitch Alboms other book is called 'Tuesdays with Morrie', also highly recommended.
His books touch my soul and feed my mind.

The best book I read last year...touching beyond words.

I'd like to meet Jesus and Paramahansa Yogananda

I'd like to meet my mother and grandmother

I'd like to meet my father, (whom I have never met).
