What if there is life after death? Or rather; Paradise after death. What if you 'wake up' on the other side and keep on 'living' into eternity. You are reunited with parents, grandparents, friends, everyone you used to know and love.
What then if you used to be married/engaged/have a boyfriend/girlfriend. What if this person passed away early in your lives, you spent two, five, ten years grieving before moving on. Then you fell in love again and built a life with another person, maybe you have children together, maybe you already have children. You grow old, you die, or maybe you don't even grow old before you die. Maybe your second love has already passed away. Maybe not.
What then when you come to Heaven, to Paradise? When you meet all the people you used to love; parents, grandparents, friends. And lovers. You will spend eternity with the person you love... but who is that?
Is it the first wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend you loved more than life, that you lost years ago?
Or is it the second that gave you your strength back and made you want to keep living after years of saddness?
How do you know? Isn't Paradise or Heaven supposed to be a happy place? One of these two people will 'live forever' with the love of their life. The other won't. How do you know?
I'm finishing The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields.
Guess it's put my 'pondering hat' back on :)
