panFive People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom (2003)
⭐️⭐️
Premise: A crusty amusement park worker has five transforming encounters when he enters the afterlife.
Review: Stories about the afterlife are generally either cynical or sentimental, so I was expecting a certain amount of cringe here. But wow. ⬇️

pickNot new, but new to me.
“With all of my heart, I believe it is true that there is a heaven for animals too.”
“You‘ll grow older, I will, too. But when you meet your friends again, they‘ll see you as they saw you then.
And you‘ll find they always knew how much they were loved…and how much they loved you.”
(I really hope so.)

Unlike shared hosting, where multiple users compete for the same resources, a dedicated setup provides a business with exclusive access to server capabilities.

Just enjoyed a full-throttle monsoon storm up in Pine, AZ. Temps dropped from 95º to 66º in 10 minutes. #heaven
Happily crunching
on pine needles in the rain.
What a perfect day.

pickA friend recommended this after we had some deaths in my family. I enjoyed the perspective of the afterlife from a near-death experience of a neurosurgeon including his own doubts and scientific frame of reference.
Sometimes, Phoenix, I actually like you. Even when the power went out, it was cool enough tonight to be able to handle it.
