I read this years ago and decided to pick it up again.
Just wonderful. I'm so glad I did.
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

wow that was an awesome read. what a touching story. I think you have inspired me to go back and read it again. my mom actually wrote a note to me inside the front cover. one of the last thing she ever did before her stroke incapacitated her.

TWM is an awesome book.
I didn't care much for Albom's other ones.....but TWM was just pure gold.

Didn't finish reading it. Maybe I'll give it another go.

I loved this book too. 2 of my kids had it as required reading in high school and my neighbor was actually a student in Morris's class. That neighbor became a career changer to a high school teacher always wondered if that was related.

I wouldn't be surprised. He had a huge impact on everyone he came in contact with, especially his students.
How lucky to have been a student of his.
