I was watching a movie based on the Mitch Albom book 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven'.
I had purchased this movie quite a while ago and have enjoyed watching it. This time around I began to wonder who were the five people waiting for Alicia as well as if she would be one waiting for me. For Alicia, she had not know many people who died before she did. The most recent would have been my aunt in Feb'10. Alicia was at her bed side when she died. My uncle who she did not know well did die about 2 years ago. So most of the folks she would have been met by may have been tangentually known to her. For me, I hope she will be the first person to greet me.
Coming home this week from NY, the car driver asked about Alicia. The driver owns a car company which I have been using for about 1 year and we both like to talk/share. It struck me that I had not shared this with her. She did note that I had stopped travelling for a period last Spring. I told her about my aunt, Alicia, and my dad all dying in 2010. I still have a hard time controlling my emotions when recounting the details. I imagine that I will continue to get these questions although hopefully less so over time.
Will this ever get easier?
