Book: "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom
Published by Doubleday in September 1997

Precis: Morrie was the greatest teacher, he taught me a great deal about life and what to expect in the future. I could talk about aspects and topics of life that scared me or I was embarrassed to talk about with anyone else. He changed my views on life and our culture and society. I was will him through it all, I witnessed a crippling disease take the life of a dear friend. Who I will never forget.

"Yes. For all things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened . That doesn't help you when you get to where I am."
This makes me think that when I'm on my death bed I don't want to have any regrets about anything in my life. I want to be able to say that I would live my life over without changing anything about it. I don't want to have any " what ifs"...

" Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Don't wait, Mitch. Not everyone gets the time I'm getting. Not everyone is lucky."
This makes me think that I shouldn't hold on to the past and I should make peace with myself and others because it will only lead to regrets.

"If could have had another son, would have liked it to be you."
This shows how close Mitch and Morrie's relationship was.They developed a dear love for one another over the years. They had a father son relationship where Morrie taught Mitch a lot about life and how to see things differently.

This book made me think about the way I'm living my own life and how when I'm on my death bed I would like to have lived a life without regrets. It makes me question all the thinks that matter to me and what I'm doing to live a well lived life like Morrie did.
