For One More Day
by Mitch Albom
Your life has fallen apart and you want to die. You get to that last step where you just can't see yourself going on anymore...what does the Universe, God, your loved ones who have crossed over, do when you are at this point? Does someone intervene? Or is it perhaps your own subconscious intervene?
This is a very spiritual book...very thought provoking and heartfelt. Not only does this book cause you to look at your life and how you currently live it...how you treat those around you but it also makes you think about the after life, heaven...what does happen when we are dying? What happens to those that have already passed? Do we bring those that have crossed over back with a simple thought?
"But ask yourself this: Have you ever lost someone you love and wanted one more conversation, one more chance to make up for time when you thought they would be here forever? If so, then you know you can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back.
What if you got it back?"
For One More Day, quote.
"Because there was a ghost involved, you may call this a ghost story. But what family isn't a ghost story? Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them."
Another quote.
This book touched me deeply. It was a real lesson in childhood, how much we don't appreciate our parents but how understanding our parents truly are no matter how we treat them. For we as children do not need to know everything...and our parents may allow us to resent them for things that aren't true, simply to protect us.
This is a highly recommended read for a quiet moment or two.
The Critical Librarian gives Mitch Albom's For One More Day five stars.
God Bless.
