Watching my funeral was weird. My parents were there and my sister and Ben. I didn't think I'd get to see any of them again, I thought it would just be death and then Heaven. But my great grandma was right, you can see the people you love, the clouds are like windows.4 months
Everyone seems to be getting over my death pretty well. Except for Ben. He doesn't leave the apartment and sometimes he just lays down clutching my clothes and crying until he falls asleep. It breaks my heart and I wish I could give him a sign that I'm okay, but all I can do is hope that he knows that I'm watching over him from up here.6 months
Everyone seems to have moved on for the most part, Ben seems to be in the same place everyone else was in two months ago. He still has my old things but at least he is restarting his life where we left off.8 months
Ben is fine, as is everyone else, and I think I'll finally stop checking in on them so often. I saw Chuck in prison, he's doing okay, getting by unnoticed. I know I should hate his guts for what he did to me, but he was still my best friend and I still care about him.1 year
Ben has found someone which makes me happy, it means that he's keeping his promise to me. Her name is Leslie. She is beautiful and kind with a little bit of crazy, the perfect girlfriend.2 years
Today was the first time I've checked in on Ben in a long time. He and Leslie have moved in together and he looks genuinely happy.3 years
I checked in again today. Leslie now has a ring on her finger. Ben looks happier than I've ever seen him.3 years and 6 months
Today was their wedding. It was the most beautiful ceremony. And Ben even visited "me" yesterday to tell me about Leslie. It was fun getting to listen to him talk about someone he loved so much. It made me happy that he has kept his promise7 years
I haven't checked in in them in forever. Everyone is still good and Ben still visits me three times a year for my birthday, our anniversary, and the day I died. I don't know how he remembers all of these dates, but he does. And the fact that Leslie is okay with him visiting me so much makes me love her so much more and wish I could meet her and talk to her. Ben and Leslie seem very happy and already have a kid. Ben has a stable job while Leslie stays home with the kid. Chuck has a few months left on his sentence due to good behavior, but I can tell he's changed, he calls Ben on my birthday and the day I died to make sure he says hi for me, which Ben does. They've patched up their relationship which makes me happy.10 years
Ben has two kids and still has his job. Leslie wrote a New York Bestsellers book. And Chuck has been out of prison and doing well. He has also found a girl a named Blair and he comes with Ben to visit me.20 years
Ben had his third and fourth dream kids all three are three years apart at 14, 11, 8, and 5. He got just what he wanted two boys then two girls. They're all each other's best friend and look out for each other, even Emma, the youngest.50 years
I've stopped checking in on them, but It was Ben's birthday today. He spent it in his bed with Leslie, Chuck, Chandler, Damon, Elena, and Emma, who all brought their spouses. He had an amazing birthday.65 years
Ben joined me today. All of his family is devastated. I wasn't expecting him to care enough when he saw me, but instead, he swept me up in the biggest hug and said he'd missed me. I told him I'd missed him too and introduced him to my new fellow(yes I found someone). He said I was lucky to have found someone and I said the same went for him.70 years
Leslie joined us and the four of us, me and Jim, him and Leslie all hang out together, all of us became friends immediately, it was like we had been friends forever. All of Ben's kids are okay.72 years
Chuck joined the party today. We were all excited to see him.73 years
I finally got to meet the woman my best friend married today. She's a bit much, but I can see the love she and Chuck have for each other and how perfect they are for each other.74 years
My sister Jessica came today. She brought her husband with her. They were driving home after bingo night when they got hit by a drunk driver, Nick was dead on impact, but jess died as soon as the car spun out of control and hit a tree.75 years
I checked in again. I haven't checked in since Ben joined me. Everyone is happy, Chandler and Monica , Damon and Elena, Iris and Barry, and Emma and Jones. Jess and Nick's son Blaine is happily married to the man of his dreams, Kurt. I couldn't have asked for a better life. It ended quick, but I got to watch all of the people I over and all of the people they love grow up into amazing people. Looking back, I have no regrets, and I wouldn't change anything that happened to me.
