I was packing my room today after moving back to serangoon. I saw that I had a lot of storybooks. I saw there was a bookmark in "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" so I sat back down on the chair I was standing on to access the higher shelves and I read from where the bookmark was.

I couldnt hold back my emotion whilst reading.

Mitch Albom has so wonderfully crafted such emotions into a lifeless character like Eddie that not feeling any sense of pity, or sharing the pain and shock with Eddie as he meets his 5 people would just be madness and almost 'inhumane'.

It soften hearts when grown men put aside their pride and all that ego, and willingly express his hurt, show his true emotions, tells his side of the story.

If only you were like that. If only you told me how tired you felt, how sad you were, how angry, how jealous, how happy, how excited, how jealous you were. Then I'll truly be happy, like Maguerite, and know that you really love me.
