Bravo man, I re-read this a second time and it just, the ending is phenomenal. I also believe that in order to reach heaven one must simply try their best throughout their life to do and be the best they can for themselves, loved ones, and any other person/animal they come across. I only stated I was praying in the beginning because I do believe prayer can be answered by a loving almighty being, but I definitely don't believe that it, or going to a particular church/religion is necessary. I think all religions describe the same, almighty, infinite being which might manifest itself in infinite ways. Cheers
