- Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
- I believe death is only a door. When it closes, another opens. If I care to imagine heaven, I would imagine a door opening. And behind it, I would find him there. Waiting for me.

Thanks for sharing your feelings about death. As with so many things I am confused because what i learned at a very young age was above all FEAR of the vengeful God I learned about in my parent's church. I do not entirely blame them because other children came away unscathed. I think that I am by nature a very introspective, some would say "too sensitive" person. The world is full of different kinds of people. Where emotions are concerned i think too many people are like bulls in a china shop with all the sensitivity of a bowl of day-old oatmeal. We are what we are and who we are. On one hand i hope there is nothing after death so that I need never face the vengeful God I learned of. On the other hand, I would like to believe that there is a better place where I will once again see all of those who meant so much to me. And a great many of those are the animals who shared my life with me, my pets, my beloved dogs. I cannot imagine a happier homecoming than all those wagging tails and tongues licking my face in greeting. That is what my vision of a happy heaven would be.
