The Five People You Meet in Heaven 1-50

Summary
The story begins with the death of an old man named Eddie. Eddie works in an amusement park by a grey ocean named Ruby Pier. The amusement park had all kinds of different rides including the new Freddy's Free Fall. Eddie not knowing that he was going to die within the hour went on with his normal everyday routine, making sure the rides were fixed, and everyone was happy. A little girl with blond hair came up to Eddie and asked him to make her an animal out of pipe cleaners. Eddie made the little girl happy by making her the balloon. He started thinking about his life and all the people he had lost in his past years. While he was thinking, he automatically heard a large scream. One of the rides was breaking. Eddie tried everything he could to stop the people on the ride from dying a tragic death. Once the co-workers of the store got everyone of the breaking cart, Eddie realized that the cart was not the problem; it was the cable which was holding the cart together.  When the co-worker cut the cable the cart immediately started to fall. Underneath the falling cart was the little girl who asked for the animal shaped pipe cleaner. With as much power as he could, he jumped and tried to get the little girl out the way, being crushed by the cart in the progress. A little while later Eddie woke up feeling better than he had every felt in his life. He was able to run, skip, and do everything that he wished he was able to do in his old age. A blue man came to him and told him that he had been expecting his visit. The blue man explained to him that he was the reason why he died, but he does not regret his death because it was a way to help him live. Eddie felt awful and felt that his death was pointless because he was nothing but a stranger to the Blue Man. The Blue Man taught Eddie that a stranger is just family that he hasn't met, and with that advice he left.

Quote
“Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.”

Reaction
I was in love with this quote because I felt that it was really true. Even though people may seem like strangers in a way all people are connected with each other. Someone who you would walk by in the street might be a person that is a friend of your family, or someone who might save your life. This quote is very powerful and should show people that it is important to be careful about what you do to other people.
