by Mitch AlbomMaybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, or wiser that gave you sound advice, who understood you when you were young. For Mitch Albom, it was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor more than 20 years ago. Like many others, he lost track of his mentor over the years, but he got the chance to visit him one last time. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man’s life. Knowing he was dying of ALS, Mitch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final ‘class’: lessons in how to live.Advertisement
