""Nearly all of us either have had or have heard of an experience
in which a soul already departed reaches back to us who have been
left behind.... Sometimes, it's no more than a whisper, a familiar
smell in the air, or just the feeling of presence as vivid as when
the loved one was still alive. These moments are just
that...moments, a glimpse behind the veil; not a letter from
heaven, but a postcard." (Dan Gordon, " Postcards from Heaven)
A postcard from heaven is not a revelation from on high --
rather, it's "a whisper, a familiar smell in the air, or just the
feeling of presence" of someone who's passed away. It is just
enough of a message to imply that what we call life is not ended by
what we call death.
Dan Gordon has been receiving these postcards all his life --
from his father, his older brother, and his son Zaki, who was
killed in a car accident when he was only twenty-two. "Postcards
from Heaven" is the beautiful, inspirational memoir of four
generations of a remarkable family and how they remain
interconnected, a part of one another's stories, even after passing
to the other side. Here is the span of his father's long life,
moving and funny, from the Russian Revolution to his improbable
Depression-era courtship of a woman named Goddess -- Gordon's
mother -- to his spiritual later years in Israel; his incorrigible
older brother's mischievous magic, able to find humor even in
cancer treatment; and his brilliant son, a natural storyteller who
looked destined to follow his father into the movie business. These
are the stories of their lives on earth as well as after death.
Full of humor, compassion, and love, "Postcards from Heaven"
comforts and assures us that those we loved can reach back to those
of us still on earth -- and, if only we are attentive enough to
listen, we can hear them say,
" Got here safe.
It's really beautiful.
Much love, till we meet again. "
