Connecting to Heaven

I can connect to the five people you meet in heaven because in our world today, everything we do in our lives affect the people around us. In other words, we have to be careful of what we are doing in our day-to-day lives.

This book is about a man named Eddie who is tragically killed in a work-related accident where he was in the process of saving a young girls life from being taken. Eddie went to Heaven, not knowing what had happened. He eventually met five people whom his life affected in a drastic way. Although he didn’t realize it at the time, his actions eventually ended each persons life.
For example, one day as a small boy, Eddie was playing with a ball in his yard. He accidentally threw a ball into the street, running after it immediately. A car zoomed past and swerved to miss the child. The shock of the almost-accident affected the man so bad that he went on to have a heart attack while driving, bringing his life to an end that day.
This tragedy showed me that even though he wasn’t aware of it, Eddie caused an accident that resulted in a man losing his life. We must be careful of what we are doing in our lives!
At another instance, Eddie meets his wife in Heaven, who had passed away before him. She was once in a car accident cause when she was trying to persuade Eddie out of the horse races before he lost all of his money. That one accident didn’t kill her, but injuries from it eventually did.
This misfortune showed me that sometimes our bad choices not hurt only ourselves, but others also.

In conclusion, this book made me realize that the smallest things we do can affect others in the biggest ways.

I am a Turtle.

Sneaking back into my shell,
hiding away from the world,
this is my life.
Watching everyone around me,
wondering when i can come out,
this is my life.
