I have been reading books now. To feed me spiritually and intellectually. chos! Reading this when the medical books gets a little too much for me to handle.
Albom really likes to go into the world of dreams while being unconcious. In-between as what I'd like to call it. It's about the story of a mother's unconditional love. I like how he would point out at the chapters that said, Times my mother stood up for me and Times I did not stand up for my mother. He built up the characters well that would give the reader a certain mix of emotions and realizations. I enjoyed the book and learned a lot from it. I cried even though I can't completely relate to the emotional sufferings of a being in a broken family. The way they longed and ached for a Father's love and approval.
I personally think that the story could've been a lot different had the mother told the children about the other wife while they were still young. It would've made them understood their life better growing up and that they wouldn't have grown up with the assumptions that they have to please their father and literally beg him for attention. But that's just me.
Bottomline is, I hope we can all say whatever we need to say to all the people and loved ones we truly care about before it's too late. Thank you's, I'm sorry's, I'll miss you's and I love you's. It might sound too easy. But it's actually quite harder than we think.
To whom do we start?
