Tuesdays with Morrie; an old man, a young man and life's greatest lessons

Read an amazing book whilst in Israel! It was a truly moving story with deep reflections of the meaning of life and the various elements within it. I am not giving a résumé of the content, only a quote:

"Whenever people ask me about having children or not having children, I never tell them what to do,"..."I simply say, "There is no experience like having children." That's all. There's no subsitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover. If you want the experience of having complete responsobility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children."

Finally I want to recommend that you: “Get the book and read it!”
….a handy tip…keep a tissue box nearby…

PS. Another book by the same author worth reading is “The five people you meet in heaven”.
