For One More Day
For One More day.....by Mitch albom
One word for this Book.... EXCELLENT!
Mitch, through his character Charley Benetto delivers
discourses on life and importance of ‘One More Day’ you want to spend with your
loved ones.
What I realized after reading this book is: “if and when you feel like speaking to
someone- a friend- a relative- loved ones etc.... just pick up a phone and
speak to them or just see them right away.. you never know whether they will be
there to talk to you tomorrow or not.... manish tully
I personally went
through this phase..... my elder daughter, one fine morning simply said that
she wanted to see my maternal grandfather... she was about six years old then
and had hardly met him; only on two or three occasions.... I was surprised... I told her that we will soon see him.... a
false promise... she after two-three days again repeated her desire.... and
once again I said we will visit him....though I wanted to see him but couldn’t
do so and then the news..... My Nana (maternal grandfather) is no more and died
due to a massive heart attack. I was in shock and blamed myself for not
listening to worldly advice from my six year old daughter. I still regret that.
My nani (maternal grandmother) told me he (my maternal grandfather) was indeed
remembering me few days before he died. I failed to understand that signal from
almighty .. through my daughter.... and failed to see him and that opportunity
will never come again.
Therefore friends.. see your parents, friends and
relatives.. whenever you have strong desire.. do not wait.
Read this book and feel the conversation between Charley and
his dead mother Pauline.
This book will change your attitude towards your parents and
family.
