Where? Here?

On Earth?

I was sad because...

I didn't do anything

with my life.

Because...

I always felt trapped by

the things that happened...

I wasn't where

I was supposed to be.

Do you understand that?

It is where

you supposed to be.

Where? Ruby Pier?

Fixing rides?

Why?

Why was I supposed

to be there?

Children.

You keep them safe.

You make good for me.

Every day.

You make good for me.

Is where you are

supposed to be...

Eddie Main'nance.

- Tala?

- Tala.

There was a little girl.

At the pier. The day I died.

Do you know who

I'm talking about?

Did I save her? Just tell me.

Did I pull her out of the way?

No pull. Push.

You push her away.

Big thing fall.

You keep her safe.

No... I felt her hands...

I couldn't have pushed...

I felt her little hands...

Not her hands.

My hands.

I bring you to heaven.

Keep you safe.

All the accidents

Eddie had prevented...

all the lives

he had kept safe.

He saw them all.

And all their children...

and all their

children's children...

there because of the simple

things that he did...

day after day.

This is the story

of a man named Eddie...

who lived and died...

and would one day himself

share the secret of heaven:

That each life

affects the other...

and the other

affects the next...

and the world

is full of stories...

but the stories

are all one.
