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.
