PERHATIAN!

For those who haven't read this book yet, quickly read it. I won't explain why, you have to find out for yourself.

This book is about a boy. About a mother. About the relationship between a boy and his mother. About the moments when the mother defends her child. About the moments when the child doesn't defend his mother.

Also, about a father. About the relationship between a father and his son. About choices. About a father who leaves his family. About a boy who is still shadowed by his father.

And this book is about family. About life. About the relationship between family and life, which may not be as planned; not as expected. About how to maintain a family. About regrets. About the feeling of giving up. About the desire to end life. Finally, this book is about lessons.

Detailed review: http://bibliough.blogspot.co.id/2016/...

Mitch has an extraordinary capacity to move, inspire and prompt self-reflection through his narratives.

Although Tuesdays with Morrie is my personal favorite, the core of this particular work truly strikes a chord.

Forgiving ourselves, coming to terms with our current circumstances and, most importantly, taking responsibility for our choices, we are given the chance to live life to the fullest and have an impact on the lives of others.

This book, like all of Mitch's writings, is beautiful in its own way, filled with both sadness and joy.

It serves as a reminder that life is a complex tapestry of emotions and experiences, and that by learning from our past and making conscious decisions in the present, we can create a more meaningful and fulfilling future.

Mitch's words have the power to touch our hearts and minds, and this book is no exception.

It is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration, guidance and a deeper understanding of the human condition.

It was our graduation practice yesterday, and since we had absolutely nothing to do, I made up my mind to borrow a book from my classmate. The moment he handed the book to me, I promptly started reading it.

From this book, I came to realize just how a mother's love can be the most pure form of love that exists. I understood that no matter how often you might feel that you are misunderstood by your mom, she is the one person who, out of all people, can truly understand you regardless of what occurs.

I also learned about the sacrifices that mothers make solely for our happiness. Even though at times, what they believe will make us happy actually has the opposite effect, it is still the thought that matters.

I am far from being a perfect daughter. In fact, I might very well be one of the worst daughters you could ever encounter in your life. That's precisely why this book truly touched me.

And the one thing I told myself after reading this book is that I will never be ashamed of my mother. No matter how old we grow. I will not ask her to leave, nor will I push her away when she attempts to kiss me in front of my friends.

I completed this book on the very same day, and I seriously wept my heart out when I was done with it. I don't know how, but Mitch Albom has this certain magic in the way he writes.

I truly hope that you can read it too.

Reading this book coincided with watching the movie "Tully", and by coincidence, the content of the story of that movie was also about a mother.

Mothers are the anchors of our lives. With all their kindness, their tiredness, reading and watching this book and movie, I remembered again to firmly kiss my mother and thank God for having a mother by my side.

Mothers play an essential role in our lives. They are always there, sacrificing their time and energy for us. Their love is unconditional and selfless.

The book and the movie both depict the challenges and joys that mothers face. They show the strength and resilience of mothers in the face of difficulties.

We should always cherish our mothers and show them our love and appreciation. They deserve our respect and care.

Let us take a moment to think about our mothers and all that they have done for us. Let us give them a hug, a kiss, or just a kind word. Let us make them feel loved and valued.

Thank you, mothers, for everything you do!

Mitch Albom is indeed a master storyteller, renowned for his ability to use parables to impart profound life lessons.

"For One More Day" centers around the poignant concept of being given the opportunity to have one final conversation with a deceased loved one.

Chick, the protagonist, is granted this precious chance to talk to his mother, as he never had the opportunity to bid her farewell.

The book is filled with memorable passages that linger in the reader's mind. For instance, "The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone," which beautifully captures the idea that the memory of our loved ones persists even after they are no longer physically present.

"One day can bend your life" emphasizes the significance of a single moment and how it can have a profound impact on our entire existence.

"Children are a wish granted, not a burden" reminds us of the joy and blessing that children bring into our lives.

"When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone" speaks to the enduring power of love and how it can keep our loved ones alive within us.

This story serves as a powerful parable, urging us to cherish every moment and make the most of our time with those we love. It reminds us that life is fleeting and that we should not take our relationships for granted.

Behind all stories, there is always the story of mothers. Because it is from there that all stories begin.

The story of this book is the story of an ungrateful child who, willingly or unwillingly, causes pain to his mother. And when his mother says goodbye to the dying father, he realizes only then what precious treasures he has lost.

The death of the father and mother makes one feel that in every war one steps into, one is not alone.

A mother whom one will never see her warm gaze again and will never be held in her embrace.

When you look at your mother, you look at the purest love you have ever known.

But the hand of fate is with our hero so that one day he can live with his mother again and experience all the good memories of the past once more.

It is very good that you spend a day with your mother. Children should do more of this.

Among the good experiences is feeling the touch of his mother's cooking again.

I don't know what kind of satisfaction there is in the food that a mother prepares for a person, but the taste of it always remains in the memory. Now, while eating a breakfast from the past, I am far away from the past time with a mother from the past.

The truth is that it doesn't matter how many years, months, or days you spend with someone who is dear to you. In the end, you always feel that this time was not enough. You always and always wish that you had spent more time with them, listened more to their words, and shown them more respect. This feeling of lack and guilt has always been and will be with humans. The whole purpose of this book is to remind us that as long as time remains, we should know the value of the moments we spend together, and that if we really understand what difficulties our fathers and mothers have endured for our sake, we will not treat them ungratefully.

The memory of the book "There Are Five People Waiting for You in Heaven" is intense, with the difference that its focus is on love for the family and missed opportunities. The selflessness and love of a mother in the face of the brevity and eternal absence of her child... Check's life is full of regrets for moments that he didn't value, and this is one more day of opportunity to make up for the mother's support.

This story delves deep into the complex emotions within a family. The mother's love is unconditional and sacrifices are made without hesitation. The child, on the other hand, realizes too late the importance of those precious moments. It serves as a reminder to all of us to cherish our families and not take their love and support for granted.

We should strive to make the most of every opportunity to show our love and appreciation. Just like Check, we may have moments of regret, but it's never too late to start making amends. Let's learn from this story and make our relationships with our families stronger and more meaningful.

For One More Day by Mitch Albom is an incredibly poignant tale. It centers around a 50-something man named Chick who deeply wishes he could have just one more day with his mother. Chick is in a dark place, contemplating suicide. His first attempt fails, and when he tries again, he still doesn't succeed. As he reflects on various moments from his lifetime, he recalls both the times when he was a good person and those when he wasn't. He struggles to understand why he isn't dead yet.

This book had me on the verge of tears in several sections, although it didn't quite have the same impact as The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Albom has so many beautiful and genuine insights to share about life. These types of books always make you think differently about your purpose. Sometimes, you realize the things you need to do better. At other times, you question whether you're capable of changing the aspects of your life that you want to improve. There is always a heartwarming and logical explanation hidden within the story, especially in the final moments of the book.

Definitely, Mitch Albom is an author worth reading every once in a while to bring you back to the essence and reasoning of your life. His works have the power to touch your soul and make you reevaluate your existence.

**A Mother's Love: For One More Day by Mitch Albom**

I was unknowingly on the hunt for a book that delved deep into the powerful and complex mother-son dynamic. My eyes landed on Mitch Albom's "For One More Day" sitting quietly on the library shelves. The blurb with the quote "Every family is a ghost story..." immediately captivated me.

"For One More Day" explores the story of a mother and son and a relationship that spans a lifetime and beyond. It poses the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? This compact book packs a powerful punch, with what seems like honest intentions of reconciling the hurt, love, and power dynamic within the Benetto family over the decades.

I breezed through the first half, expecting a reality-based retelling of mother-son connections. However, I was quickly given a lifetime movie instead when I was hoping for something as deeply impactful as "Motherhood and Emotional Intimacy in Tully 2018". Charles "Chick" Benetto can be frustrating. His mother, who opens her arms to him after he has treated her poorly so many times, is truly a hero and a mother. She even has a unique way of saying "I love you" - "I love you every day!"

The father in the story is also a source of frustration. He never provided for the family or paid alimony and living expenses after leaving. Yet, he still tries to be a part of Chick's life, only to benefit himself by living vicariously through his son's baseball career.

Despite some flaws, the book does have its shining moments. The chapters titled "Times My Mother Stood Up for Me" and "Times I Did Not Stand Up for My Mother" showcase the complexity of family interactions and the details that make up our daily lives. The book also reveals many truths about the relationship between parents and their kids and the impact they have on each other's worlds.

It's moments like these, the small joys and frictions in life that we often overlook until they are gone, that make this book stand out. "Sticking with your family is what makes it a family."

This book truly merits a revolutionary review. It geometrically amplifies for everyone the significance of comprehending the sacrifices our mothers make throughout our lives.

It has the power to compel one to discard the small acts of dismissal towards our parents that we might be so busy engaging in each day, and instead reserve more time and space for deeds that we deem more crucial for ourselves. The book can seize you by the collar and assist you in realizing how foolishly you are pursuing things that may never amount to what will ultimately fulfill you, while the clock ticks away precious (extremely precious) hours of moments when you could have reveled in the glory of delving into the mind, heart, and soul of the only person (your mother... and for many, it is also our fathers... yes!) whose sole intention has always been to see you live blissfully and happily, regardless of how much grumpiness you may have unloaded on her.

The book is revolutionary in its capacity to drive one crazy about the astonishingly small degree to which we are truly regularly aware of the sacrifices our parents are making for us, asking for literally nothing in return.

When his life collapses, Chick spends one day with his deceased mother, learning (in reverse) about the lushness of the angelic persona that she silently bestowed upon him throughout his childhood, only to finally lose all his hold on that talking image of her to the stars. He realizes this folly, and tears fill his soul.

The impact this book has had on my life is ineffable!

I love you, my mom, so very much!

I have been engaging in nonsensical, self-centered behavior just to be around her all the time... this is the overarching transformation that has occurred within me after reading this masterpiece. The same is happening with my father! Remember, parents have the purest form of love for you. Others will have strings attached! :)

I now spend less time on myself and more of it losing myself in learning about life from my parents!

Thank you, Mitch, truly!

Please read this book if your parents are still alive!

So far, three books have made me so deeply aware of the beauty of parents - To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Father Figure by James Cudney, and then, this one!
