pickA story of living a life to its fullest with love and compassion, even while dying. Author Mitch Albom‘s life takes an unexpected turn when he finds out his favorite college professor is dying of ALS. What was initially a singular visit turns into weekly flights from Detroit to Boston to capture his old professor‘s last lecture on life🤍.
pickA quick reread while my kids played at the park. I love this reminder to cherish the small moments and not just get caught up in work. “Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.”
pickObviously a bit tear provoking but such good sentiments and reminders to us of what matters in life.
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love. And to let it come in.”
His voice dropped to a whisper. "We think we don't deserve love. We think if we let it, we'll become too soft. But love is the only rational act.”

pickLess detail about the food & meals being eaten would have been preferable; but, overall ~ a thoughtful read.
These are such cool thoughts about God and philosophy. I found this one by Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin and his thoughts on evolution and creationism are very unique. This is such a beautiful thought. That seems very cool and Christian too.
This is an extraordinary book. I say that as someone who has had very little to do with writing it. All I did, really, was “show up,“ ask a few questions, then take dictation. This book has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 91 weeks,This book took years to write. It did not come easily
pickThis book is intended for people that believe in God. I honestly don‘t, but I still respect this book. It is a self help and philosophy with guided meditations. It is meant to be therapeutic. I am politely giving it back to my Dad. I didn‘t finish it, but I can‘t have the bail lower its popularity.
Love Robert Fulghum-inhaled all his books a few years back and have a few on my shelf at home. Time for a reread, I think!
“Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors. And we teach our kids about that.” Robert Fulghum
