i do.


last night i stayed up til 1:30. i know. not even impressive. and i was reading. and im not try to sound stupid or blond, but i have never done that before. i have never been SO engaged into a single book. but the weirdest part was that it was a grown up book. Yes. for adults more than teenagers or children.


It was about this older man named morrie.
he was a professor. at a collage.
he had this one student that was close to him.
at graduation they parted, with a promise. to keep in touch.
that never occurred.
Mitch {the student} finally called his old professor and they met. they greeted each other like they were family.
they practically were.


every tuesday mitch would fly a thousand miles to meet with this old professor.
this professor was just about living on his death bed.
he had ALS. a fatal disease that had no cure.
they were tuesday people.
mitch listened to morrie for hours, there were times he cried and laughed and was just too sick to move.
this book is about how a self-ish boy became a self-less man.
morrie cared for everyone and everything. so happy, so kind, so loving.
he said that he  was a lucky man. him. a dying 80 year old. he said he was grateful for the slow death because it gave him time to say good bye. he would morn for himself for very few minuets each morning, but the day would go on, happy and kindly. Love or perish. is what he said.
the best part of the book is that it is all true. every word.

at the end i was crying SO hard it looked like i had lost my own friend.
im so consumed into it. i can't stop.


this is how we say goodbye.
