Tuesdays
I've read of this book entitled Tuesdays with Morrie. It is about an old man, a young man, and life greatest lesson. Mitch Albom, the author of the book reunited again with his college professor Morrie Schwartz. And he found out that his old professor has an ALS and dying. On his first visit, they talk about the world. Mitch returns regularly every Tuesday to listen to Morrie's lesson on the meaning of life. Mitch bring his tape recorder to tape his discussion with Morrie so that he may compile notes with which to write a book, Tuesdays with Morrie a project with which he and Morrie refer to as their last thesis together. Mitch before when he was in college, he want to finish his thesis as fast as he can. But now, this thesis he have with Morrie, he didn't want to finish because he still want to psend more time with Morrie. Every Tuesday, they talk about something until the thirteen Tuesday. And on the fourteen Tuesday, they say goodbye. Morrie is in bed and barely able to speak. Mitch holds Morrie's hand and tell Morrie that he will come back next Tuesday as he knows that Morrie is tired. He gives Morrie a farewell kiss.
While reading the book, I really don't know what to feel. There's a part of me that says to continue reading the book but there is also a part of me that I don't want to continue reading because I know how it will end and I don't want to end it that way. When I reach the last chapter, when Mitch is describing his old professor in bed, it made me cry. I felt the pain. I felt the longing and I felt the love.
