What a beautiful tale of life/after-life that gives hope that there's meaning to it all. Regardless of religion/beliefs, this story shows what it is to be human and how even the most simple life has a right to be lived and that we are never alone as our lives endlessly intertwine with others.
This direct quotation sums it up wonderfully:
'Each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.'
