For one more day

Procrastination is the thief of time.

What if you were given one more chance to do what you want? What if you were able to travel back time to do what you have yearn for long time? What if you had one more day to do what you had missed?

It is a nice, touching story - “For One More Day” by Mitch Albom.

Every home has a skeleton in the closet. This is what the writer keeps reminding us in the story. The theme of the story is love between a single mother and her son, Charley Benetto, whose parents were divorced. Other themes which are obvious: responsibility of a father to the family, value for life, not to succumb to failure easily and so on.

Charley Benetto tried to commit suicide after a big impact in his life: the death of his mother and the fact of not getting invitation to his daughter’s wedding.

When he was between consciousness and coma, reality and phantom, voluntariness and involuntariness; he had a chance to meet his late mother for one more day. That day, all his hidden memories in his deep heart core were unleashed.

This story will make you think of family and love. It digs out all the nostalgic moment in your life.
