HTTR Forever.
Okay, just being me here. exhausted and bored with way too much time to think.

I'm reading Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven and it got me thinking. At this stage in my life, if I died, who would the five people I would meet be? And better yet, who would I want them to be?

I'm still thinking through this one on my own and don't yet have an answer to it. But I figured it would make for great discussion. Agnostics and Atheists please feel free to chime in in your own hypothetical way.
 
Is the question who are the five people we would like to see in the afterlife or the five we most likely expect to see? Can they be anyone in history or are we suppose to know them in this life?

Who you expect and who you want to see. They have to be, in some way, connected to you, directly or indirectly. A teacher, friend of the family, a childhood friend...etc.

My maternal grandfather because I didn't get to spend as much time with him as I ever wanted to. My biological dad to ask him "wtf man? Nothing all my life and then you die suddenly of leukemia before we get to work it out?" My fraternal grandfather to find out ANYTHING about that side of the family once and for all. My best friend's husband just because he was one of the greatest people I ever met. And finally, my husband's uncle Dennis, taken too soon and so much a part of who my husband is as a person and a Buckeye.

My mom.
My grandfather Louie, who I was named after but never got to meet.
My friend Josh, who was killed Thanksgiving day 5 years ago responding in his ambulance to a 911 call.
Vickie. She wasn't really my aunt but I'll always miss my Aunt Vick.
Salma Hayek. She ain't dead yet but whatever.

I would probably run into my mother's grandmother, whom I had conversations with after she passed while I was a small child. Also, my parents if they pass before me, and I don't really know. I guess it could be alot of different people, if there is any kind of afterlife, I don't discriminate or deny anything, it's all possible.

Way to put aside your personal beliefs and just participate in a theoretical thread, Tao. That's what we love about you. :)

Thought you dug honesty? :tongue2: Next time I'll say..Einstein and Ursula LeGuin. Opps! That was only two! Abe Lincoln, Groucho and Naomi Klien.

I'd like to meet a guy who thinks Taos's jokes are funny, that would be pretty cool, doubt it will happen when I am alive, but there's a chance in the afterlife some guy will go "Toasman? That dude cracks me up"

:p
