Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

 I read (listened to) the 25th Anniversary Edition of this heartwarming true story about a professor ("coach" Morrie) and his student (Mitch) reunited after 16 years post graduation. The professor has been diagnosed with the fatal disease ALS. As their relationship resumes, Mitch visits Morrie every Tuesday and they talk about anything and everything as Mitch bears witness to Morrie's steady decline. Morrie prefers to view his story as one about life, not death, and their bond and love grows deeper with every visit. I'm not sure how or why I missed this on it's first run but I am glad to have read it now.
