“We all lose somebody
we care about and want to find some comforting way of dealing with it,
something that will give us a little closure, a little peace.” – Mitch Albom
On Memorial Day weekend,
the words of best-selling author, journalist and screenwriter Albom resonate
ever stronger. His books have sold over
35 million copies, led by the poignent Tuesdays With Morrie,
equally successful as a play and a movie.
The story continues to touch people’s lives through the wisdom that
Albom was able to share from conversations with his dying friend.
Born in Passaic, NJ on this date in
1958, Albom was first a successful sportswriter before becoming – almost by
accident – a phenomenal chronicler of people’s lives and hopes and the
inspiration they brought to others.
“At the core I always
say to myself, 'Is this something people want to read?'” Albom noted. “I believe that you live on inside the hearts
and minds of everyone you've touched while you were here on earth.”
