Life has to end. Love doesn’t.

"This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life to have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for."-

The Blue Man
(The five people you meet in Heaven by M. Albom)



This is the book I am currently reading.
And It's a must-read.

I have been carrying that book around with me for the past couple of weeks , and after the news of the sudden death of my friend Samuel, I knew it was the right time for me to start reading it.

I got "acquainted" with Mitch Albom when I first read " Tuesdays With Morrie" ( which is also a must read) and I knew, he would, again, have the right words to bring the right tears to my eyes and comfort to my soul.

On Another note: I think Life, just like Death, is simple and stupid. And They should be understood and kept that way.

And I find it quite difficult to understand why people feel the need to hold back those whose time has come to depart from this world; by spending days remininscing on all the good times they shared with that person, looking at pictures over and over again....

I understand PAIN. I really do. It actually comforts me at times. But I think Life is not meant to be retained and we should allow them to go on with their "life".
Or maybe it's me, who is in denial.
