Tuesdays With Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man & The Last Great Lesson
by Mitch Albom
good book (3/9/2023)
(Major spoilers)
Tuesdays with Morrie is a drama about an old professor that is dying of ALS and is reconnecting with an old student of his to talk about his condition. It talks about the time they had inside the classroom and outside the classroom. The professor is teaching him to live his life and not let it go to waste because you never know how much time you have. Every Tuesday he goes over and sees the professor because he is too old and sick to get out of the house and he interviews him. The old student is stuck in his work all the time and doesn't have time for his wife or to do anything fun because he just drowns himself in work. The old professor was healthy at the beginning but once he was diagnosed with ALS it all went downhill. He became pale and skinny. He needed people to wipe his bottom and change his clothes, only he could read his handwriting and even if it was summer he would have a coat and blanket over him because he was so frail he was cold all the time. If you do not like sad dramas this book is not for you. I love it so far. It has taught me to live life to the fullest because you never know when it will be your time.
