Page 186 paragraph3 line 1 I blinked back the tears, and he smacked his lips together and raised his eyebrows at the sight of my face. I like to think it was a fleeting moment of satisfaction for my dear old professor: he had finally made me cry
Page 190 paragraph 4 line 1 Not long after Morrie's death, I reached my brother in Spain. We had a long talk. I told him I respected his distance, and that all I wanted was to be in touch-in the present, not just the past-to hold him in my life as much as he could let me. "You're my only brother," I said. "I don't want to lose you. I love you."I had never said such a thing to him before.
Page 190 paragraph 4 line 1 A few days later, I received a message on my fax machine. It was typed in the sprawling, poorly punctuated, all-cap-letters fashion that always characterized my brother's words. "HI I'VE JOINED THE NINETIES!" it began. He wrote a few little stories, what he'd been doing that week, a couple of jokes. At the end, he signed off this way:I HAVE HEARTBURN AND DIAHREA AT THE MOMENT-LIFE'S A BITCH. CHAT LATER? [signed] SORE TUSH. I laughed until there were tears in my eyes.
Conclusion There is no such thing as “too late” in life. He was changing until the day he said good-bye. It hurts when you can't be with someone you love. But you need to be at peace with his desires. Death ends a life, not a relationship The teaching goes on……
Reflection What is the most important in our life? Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious things, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine?
