I've just finished another of Mitch Albom's delightful books, For One More Day, which explores the relationship between a son and his mother. Charley Benetto is at rock bottom when he attempts suicide and is "reunited" with his dead mother. They spend the day discussing their lives together, the joys, the sadness, and the guilt. Charley learns about his mother's sacrifices for him and the depth of her love. This is a beautiful, touching story and reminds us not to take our mothers for granted and to talk to her before she's gone. 4/5Friday, January 25, 2008
