Tuesday with Morrie
Despite being a sports journalist with a successful career ahead of him, Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life. This all changes when he is reunited with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz. On discovering that Morrie is being weakened by a severe illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays. The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in a series of lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it.
“Yes. I look out that window every day. I notice the change in the trees, how strong the wind is blowing. It’s as if I can see time actually passing through that windowpane. Because I know my time is almost done, I am drawn to nature like I’m seeing it for the first time.”
The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.
As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes -- the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last.

When you`ve lost your way on the path of life, you might notice someone ready to help, watching you kindly from further along the way, you know them: an older relative, a teacher, a friend, or a neighbour.
