My Grandfather

     The Tuesdays with Morrie book that I read with the class was my grandfather's book. My sister had bought it for him after he was diagnosed with cancer. This book has more sentimental value than even my San Francisco 49ers jacket. The reason being is because this book is what my grandfather was for me. He always helped me enjoy the little things and taught me so many things in life such as love and compassion. He was the closest person to me before he passed. My grandma used to say that he was lucky to be able to spend time with his grandchildren. However, I believe we were the lucky ones. My sister said it best with the message she wrote on the first page of the book which says, "To our Morrie who has taught us so much about life-Love, your family." The one thing is, I cannot forget the moments I had riding home from school, at my basketball games, and at the dinner table for thanksgiving. Mitch had a second chance to relive those moments. However, my last moment was February 2010.
