Another Great Read...

For One More Day - Mitch Albom

- But ask yourself this: Have you ever lost someone you love and wanted one more conversation, one more chance to make up for the time where 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?

- It's like this line is drawn somewhere in the world and if you never cross it, you'll never consider throwing yourself off a building or swallowing a bottle of pills - but if you do, you might.

- One day can bend your life, and that day seemed to bend mine inexhorably downward.

- But she wasn't around, and that's the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going into every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.

- To be honest, not all of me wanted it to end. When a lost loved one appears before you, it's your brain that fights it, not your heart.

- Have you ever dreamt of someone who's gone, Charley, but in the dream you have a new conversation? The world you enter then is not so far from the world I'm in now.

- "I don't know, Mom. Will I be with you forever, or will you be gone in a minute?" "You can find something truly important in a minute."

- I realized how your mother or father pass through you to your children, like it or not.

- "You know what I think?" she announces. "I think you have to try things in life. Is this something you believe in, Charley?" "Belief, hard work, love - you have those things, you can do anything."

- And I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.

- "Secrets, Charley," my mother whispered. "They'll tear you apart."

- You can find something truly importan in an ordinary minute.

- "Remember me for these days, not the old ones."

- But what family isn't a ghost story? Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them.

- One day spent with someone you love can change everything.
