DREAM

THIS MOTHER'S GRANDFATHER HAD A BEST FRIEND WITH WHOM HE
WAS INSEPARABLE. THEY PROMISED EACH OTHER THAT WHOEVER
DIED FIRST WOULD RETURN TO THE OTHER IN A DREAM AND
TELL HIM HOW IT WAS. THIS FRIEND DIED FIRST, BEFORE
THE GRANDFATHER, AND APPEARED TO HIM AND SAID THAT
HEAVEN WAS FANTASTICALLY BEAUTIFUL. HE MENTIONED
BOYHOOD FRIENDS WHOM HE SAW THERE AND SAID THEY HAD TO
WORK 24 HOURS A DAY AND HAD A HARD TIME. HE ALSO
MENTIONED THAT ONCE YOU WERE DEAD, YOU COULD NEVER
RETURN.
