When someone you admire and love develops a dreaded disease what do you do? Perhaps, like Mitch, you have good intentions but don't get around to doing much because you are so busy. Eventually though, like Mitch, you take time to visit that friend and realize that you just must spend what time you can with this beloved individual before you have no more time left. So it goes with Mitch whose mentor and friend, Morrie, battles ALS. Morrie is just glad to see his former student who promised to keep in touch when he graduated.

This read has many messages not the least of which is it's never too late to find and old friend. It's never too late to apologize. It's never too late to renew an old friendship and spend some time with someone. From Morrie's viewpoint, one must live one's life to the best of one's ability whatever happens. It's a good read filled with emotion that makes the heart tremble.
