The Mentors

     I am raeding a book called, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," written by Mitch Albom. In this book the main character (Eddie) has 5 mentors. The one I have specifically chosen is the third person Eddie meets in heaven. Her name is Ruby. Ruby pier was named after her and that is where Eddie worked his whole life. The main lesson Ruby taught Eddie was to forgive. Eddie had all his anger built up inside him over the years because he hated his father, for being so hard on him when he was young and worse as Eddie grew older. Eddie held his father responsible for ruining his life and making him stay and work at Ruby Pier for the rest of his life when he died. Ruby told him , " Forgive, Edward. Forgive. Do you remember how light you felt when you first came to Heaven?"(Mitch Albom, The 5 People You Meet in Heaven, pg 142) Ruby taught Eddie how to forgive for his third lesson in Heaven. Like I said at the beggining of the piece this was only one of Eddies Mentors. If you want to know more, read the book.
