For One More Day

I just ordered the book by Mitch Albom entitled , For One More Day. I have read Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven by him and they were the kind of books that stayed with you for a long time. They aren't something you can put down and not remember anything about it the next week.

I saw the author interviewed on GMA and the book, For One More Day, is exactly what you would imagine it would be. If there was someone in your life who is no longer here and you could go back and spend one more day with them, what would you do or say ?

I have already thought of things I would say to my mom or dad if I could spend another day with them or what I would say to my friend, Juanita, if I could spend another day with her or to my extended family member, Wayne, if I could spend another day with him and the list goes on and on.

I hope that in reading this book I will say and do the things that I should to my loved ones now while they are still here because unfortunately, in this life, we don't get the chance to have that "one more day".

Sounds like a great book! Please share when you're done (assuming I'll be here one more day.....) Love you Mom!

Okay, this is the 2nd death reference I've heard from you this week. If you are dying and haven't told me, I'm going to kill you.

But in case this is the last day for either of us, I love you and wouldn't TYFAOMITW.

"If you are dying and you haven't told me, I'm going to kill you"... I like that one.

If I were dying today and knew it, I wouldn't have blown $15 ordering the book !

I read "Tuesday's With Morrie" but haven't read any of his other stuff. Sounds like I need to get this one.
