Tuesday with Morrie isn’t just a book for me but a very personal experience for me. This month when I was going through some medical condition, I realized the words from the book were not just something I had read, they had become part of me. I remember I kept saying after reading this book that, if I hear something bad about my health, I know how to keep myself up. Very recently because of some infection, I went under treatment and the doctor suggested doing a biopsy. And there was 10 days wait for the report.
It came to my mind that what if I was diagnosed with cancer, but then this book 'Tuesday with Morrie' all conversations between Morrie and Mitch were in front of me and I was ready to face it.
After ten days the report was negative, but because of this health situation in my life, every conversation with Morrie and Mitch was running in my mind. And I decided to hold the book again in my hand, feel it, and share it with all of you.
I am anyway a very slow reader and I just don’t read the book but it stays with me if it inspires me. I started reading Tuesday with Morrie in January 2022 and it ended in December 2022. It took a whole year for me to read the book and sometimes I go back and read a few paragraphs again which makes me think about what is life and if certain things will happen to me, how I am going to react, how I am going to act on it. What will be my emotions, will I be able to handle them?
There are many books which impacted my life and I am grateful for all the people who suggested great books to me. And this is one of the book which makes my life easier in the difficult situation. I am very well aware I am not very good when it comes to showing my emotions, you might find me with so much excitement when actually I am very emotional.
This book was suggested by a very great person in my life when I was disoriented for some reason. It did not give me just to keep moving in life but to enjoy it fully at the top level with each small moment.
About the book- The book is written by Mitch Albom on the reunion of professor and student. It is about love, forgiveness, and happiness. How happiness is not materialistic but relationship, and meaningful experiences.
