Morrie completely changed my perspective on my mother’s life.
“This disease is knocking at my spirit. But it will not get my spirit. It’ll get my body. It will not get my spirit.” ~ Morrie
A few days back as I was cleaning my desk I found a book which had been waiting for me, for a long time.
I remember started reading it but then left it half-read, not because it was not a good read, but because in between life happened.
Now that I have recently completed reading it, it’s actually one of the most heartfelt books I’ve ever read. The book is ‘tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom.
The second time as I was reading this book, I realized that how much something holds the power to impact you depends upon the phase of the life you are in.
The first time when I left it half-read, it was a good philosophical read. However, the second time made me question my ways of life. This time the book was a healing session. This time was the time after my mother passed away.
As I began reading, I felt- ‘maybe this is not the right time to read it’. However, by the time I finished, I knew it was the best time to put my hands on this book.
Morrie was the University professor. The author Mitch Albom used to be Morrie’s student. Morrie, later in his life, was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). This book narrates the conversations between an ill teacher and his student.
