Well first I have to start off by saying that I am sorry I have been absent from the blog and my reading. School ended in May, and my life has just been nonstop. Clare came to visit me this past week!! (Woo hoo!!) We've been doing lots of fun things and one of those things was giving each other one of our favorite books to read. I originally wanted to read The Five People You Meet in Heaven which is also by Mitch Albom. Clare loves Mitch Albom because a lot of his books are based on true life stories. Tuesdays with Morrie is no exception. Morrie was one of Mitch Albom's professors in college. Mitch promises to stay in touch with Morrie after graduation. But life happens. 16 years pass when Mitch learns that Morrie is sick. Morrie is diagnosed with ALS. Mitch and Morrie begin meeting weekly, on Tuesdays, to discuss life.
This book is so heartwarming and gut wrenching. My emotional self held back the tears until the very end. Morrie was full of so many life lessons, and he was a teacher till his very last breath. Tuesdays with Morrie is one of those books that you pray sticks with you for the rest of your life. You don't want to lose what you learned. I know I definitely don't. This is a book that you can share with any friend or family member. Who doesn't have a thing or two to learn about life? Morrie was constantly changing even knowing that his life was coming to an end. His never changing mantra was "Love each other or perish". We will constantly need others in our lives. You are not alone, and you don't have to do life alone.
