About two years ago I lost a close friend. His wife came to me and asked if I could write a tale to explain death in a way that children could understand. I said that I did not think that I could write a story about death as it is a very difficult subject to approach. That evening while sleeping I dreamed this story and during the night I woke up and typed it into the computer. Everyone that has read this tale loves it. They say that it helps them understand the true meaning of life. This story is my favorite and is my gift to the world.
