24. The five people you meet in heaven--Mitch Albom

This story is about Eddie Maintenance at Ruby Pier who died at 83 and went to heaven to meet 5 people who helped him understand his life on earth--how he was able to stay alive, the sacrifices that others made for him, the things he did not understand about his father, the wife he missed, Marguerite, and the girl he accidentally killed in war but the many children he kept alive because of his job at the pier. It taught me that I shouldn't let one big setback/regret in my life to keep me down and angry for the rest of my life (like Eddie's wounded knee that knocked him down and knocked his dreams down for the rest of his life).
