Tuesdays With Morrie

I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this film 12 years ago in Blockbusters, it was the only one left on the shelf and I had never heard of it before...but all the other films I had already seen, or wasn't interested in, so 'Tuesdays With Morrie' was hesitantly rented and taken home.  I watched it, loved it, bought it, even bought the book.....which is a rare occurrence for me!!  It was really inspiring, and I know it sounds cheesy but it has a place in my heart.....especially as it started my love of true story films, that has then gone on to inspire me, my husband (who was a bit reluctant as first), and now my family....maybe at a later date I'll do a post of similar films that are my favs??!!?


So what's so good about 'Tuesdays with Morrie???'  Well, at that time in my life it helped me put my life in perspective and made me realise how I could be the one to make a difference in someone's life....now, you might watch it and get a totally different thing, haha!!
Anyway, I thought I'd share some excerpts from the book (and film??).....who knows it might cause a ripple effect, yikes!!



I drafted this post a couple of weeks before my husband's grandad died of cancer, and these words really touched members of his family.



loved this one too...



......I hope you enjoy this book and/or film as much as I do.
