Living And Dying
Tuesdays With Morrie was an excellent book in many ways. It opened my eyes up to how I would like to die and what I would like to pass on to my loved ones. I don’t always tell my parents and brother that I love them, although very rarely do I tell my closest friends. After reading this book it has helped me be more open with my feelings. After all I will never know when I will die; it could be today or it could be in 70 years. I need to start living life like there may not be a tomorrow. If I do this, even half the time, then it will make me a better person. There are several topics of life that I need to start doing to make sure that when I die I feel complete.
When I die I would like to know that I have done most everything that I would like to have done. Obviously, I will have some regrets but who doesn’t.

In life I try my best every day and think of each day as it were my last. If I keep on taking this attitude then when I die I will feel satisfied with my life.
When I die I would like to be remembered and not just forgotten. I would like to be remembered for baseball and also for being a nice person. I want people to say that I was one of the nicest guys they’ve ever met. I think that is a huge compliment. It is hard for me to accept that not very many people will remember me. Sure maybe for ten years or so, but after that they will forget. That is why I need to surround myself in as much family as I can, just like Morrie did. He knew that his family and friends wouldn’t forget him so he surrounded himself with them. It would comfort me to know when I die that some people still think about me.
When I die I definitely do not want to be in a lot of pain. I think ...Read entire document
