I once had a good friend. We spent a lot of time together. We even went to Paris and London during our summer vacation when we were eighteen years old. But after she got married, I never heard from her again.

One evening, a few years later, I was watching the news on television. And there I saw her father telling about a new star he had found (he works in an observatory). That made me decide to contact her. I got her email address from her father and wrote her.

She wrote me back, but it was a sad message. She had stomach cancer. Unusual for someone only twenty-five years old. I got the chance to see her twice before she died.

I'm sure it was no coincidence that all this happened. If I hadn't seen her before her death I would have been even more sad. I know she is in a wonderful place now. She told everyone about where she was going. She visited "heaven" several times before her actual death. That impressed me a lot and I am happy to know that there is more than what we can see with our physical eyes.
