for one more day

As I sat on the plane from Houston to Ontario, I began to cry. I don't know what the two ladies next to me were thinking but I was glad it was dark. It was 9 p.m when our plan took off and I was the only person reading -- everyone else was trying to nap. Although I am a sentimental soul, I didn't expect to have tears well up from this particular book, a story about a boy, his mother, their family and missed opportunities. I picked up the book because I like Mitch Albom's work and had truly enjoyed Tuesdsays with Morrie and The 5 people You Meet in Heaven. I was intrigued by the question, "What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?" As many of you know, my grandparents have greatly influence my life and my choices so I immediately thought of them. In the end, that wasn't what was going through my mind. Maybe my tears were from the 5 days I spent with my parents and sister "back home". Maybe it was the time of the day. Maybe it was the air pressure. All I know is that I was touched by Mitch Albom's new book, for one more day. It is a must read.
