TUESDAY?S WITH MORRIE
WHEN THE NOVEL TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE WAS BEING RED IN
CLASS IT GAVE ME A GREAT UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE AND HOW IT
WORKS. MORRIE NOT ONLY TAUGHT ME THE MEANING OF LIFE AND
LOVE, BUT HE TAUGHT ME THAT THE LITTLE THINGS SHOW THE WAY YOU
LOVE. MORRIE WAS SUFFERING FROM A DISEASE THAT EFFECTED HIS
BODY AND IT WAS SLOWLY TAKING HIS LIFE. WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF
HIS DEATH IN MIND HE DECIDED NOT TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF DEATH,
BUT TEACH OF IT AS HE DIES. THIS IN MANY PEOPLES MIND MADE HIM A
TEACHER. MORRIE TAUGHT TO THE END AND MADE PEOPLE REALIZE
THAT YOU SHOULD LOVE AND NOT HATE OR JUDGE THE WAY PEOPLE
CHOOSE TO LIVE THEIR LIFE. THE WORDS THAT MORRIE SPOKE MADE ME
REALIZE THE WAY I CHOOSE TO LIVE MY LIFE MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT OR
WRONG WAY AND THAT DOESN?T MATTER, BUT IF I AM ENJOYING THE
WAY MY LIFE IS THAN I AM LIVING IT THE RIGHT WAY, MY WAY.
THE NOVEL AND WHAT MORRIE WENT THROUGHOUT DID HIT HOME
FOR ME BECAUSE NOT TOO LONG AGO I LOST MY GRANDMOTHER TO
CANCER. THOUGHT THE DISEASE AT AWAY HER BODY SHE REFUSED TO
LET IT TAKE HER SOLE AND ABILITY TO LOVE. THE WAY THAT I
REMEMBER MY GRANDMOTHER IS DESCRIBED IN ONE WORD, GOLD. THAT
WORD TO ME DESCRIBES MORRIE. MORRIE HAD FAITH THAT WOULD NOT
DIE AND WHEN HE DID DIE HIS FAITH LIVED IN OTHERS. ?DON?T LET GO
TOO SOON, BUT DON?T HOLD ON TOO LONG? WERE WORDS OF WISDOM
THAT MORRIE SPOKE AND HE DID JUST THIS. HE HELD ON LONG ENOUGH
TO TEACH HIS FINAL LESSON, AND IN THE END EVERYBODY MADE THE
GRADE.
THE STORY OF MORRIE?S LIFE MADE MY FAITH IN GOD MUCH
STRONGER.. LIKE MY TEACHER EXPLAINED, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE BY
COINCIDENCE. TO ME, FAITH SEEMS TO PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE
EVENTS THAT LED UP TO THE END OF MORRIE?S LIFE AND THE NOVEL.
FATE MUCH CONSIDERATION I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
GOD PLAYED A ROLE IN THIS. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT WHAT ARE THE
ODDS THAT ALL OF THIS HAPPENED THE WAY IT DID. GOD HAD A PLAN
AND NOW MORRIE LIVES THROUGH MITCH.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I HAVE LEARNED IN THIS NOVEL
IS THAT DEATH IS NOT THE END OF A RELATIONSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT
ONCE THE PHYSICAL ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP IS GONE THE
EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL ASPECT HAS A LARGER CHANCE TO DEVELOP,
AND THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. ONCE THEY ARE GONE THEY CAN LIVE
INSIDE YOUR, SOUL AND THAN YOU CAN SHARE EVERYTHING.
THE THING THAT MOVED ME MOST ABOUT MORRIE IS THAT HIS
SPIRIT NEVER DIED AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE WANTED TO GIVE UP
HE STILL GOT IN HIS CHAIR AND GOT DRESSED AND SPOKE HIS THOUGHTS
