Today I finished a fabulous book, "Tuesday's with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. What a wonderful book so well written I felt like I was right there with them. I hope that soon I realize a lot better the lessons Mitch was being taught over those few months.
I don't want to give any of this book away. But talking about how a loved one or friend being on their death bed seems to sadly keep us so distant from them. I certainly know for me, I will definitly avoid at any cost the site of seeing any person, whether it be a family member or not, in pain let alone on their death bed. This book I hope has helped me to realize death bed or not they are still alive who ever it is. They have the same humor as I would remember them, they have the same eyes, and still like the same foods. For one reason or another the outside of them has been warped so as to not allow the true person shine through.
Oh how this subject terrifies me. The thought of death scares me to pieces most of us I am sure feel this same way. If you feel this way I highly recommend this book. It may help to make you realize that the person in the body is still there it's the body that is leaving. I just was so moved by this one. I admitted to a couple of friends I couldn't finish the book, I knew what was going to happen I just didn't want it to end.
Hope you read it. Hope you love it. And hope I can get another great read in my hands in a few days.
