id Eddie ever see Annie again? He had saved Annie's life and lost his. Was he angry that he died saving her? If he had it to do over, would he sacrifice his life for someone he didn't even know? Did the last thing he ever did on Earth haunt him?

won't answer these and so many other questions here. I'll leave readers to find the answers for themselves. Answers aren't the principal intent of the author. Albom deals with human interaction ... and acceptance of the hands we are all dealt. Forgiveness plays a large role. Being calm and peaceful is highly recommended.

he Next Person You Will Meet in Heaven
is a lovely tale, written by a man with strong feelings he is willing to share.
