For One More Day

Here I am again, finished another book by Mitch Albom. It's another good book that I'll recommend to all of you, but still, "Tuesdays With Morrie" is the best among the 3 books from him that I've read.

Chick was a baseball player. He once had a happy family until his father left them, without saying anything. So, he became Mama's boy but he didn't really like that idea. He had done and said many things to hurt his elderly mother. He was ashamed by his mother because she was the only divorcee in the small town.

Chick went to college, dropped out of college to be a professional player after his father came back to see him playing and he married Catherine, and had a daugther. He didn't have a good time in the team and he didn't do well in his salesman job too. Everything seems bad to him and he started to drink alcohol. The wife left him and he wasn't even invited to his only daugther's wedding ceremony. He was only "informed".

He realized he was a big failure and he wanted to kill himself. Until then, he saw his dead mother. A ghost? A real person? Was he dead?

Well, read it yourself. ^_^

His wife didnt love him. His wife should have stand by him and support him. Not everyone had a smooth path. Just watch some Adidas' Impossible is Nothing commercial - Lionel Messi, he had asthma and was told to stop doing sports. David Beckham, had to hide in kitchen in pubs because people wanted to kill him for his dismissal in the World Cup. Gilbert Arenas, in his first 23 NBA games, he was only on the bench.Many more!!!Poor bloke..

Would love to read this book though...

that wasn't the point of the story.so just read it if u wanna know what is it.

talk about love,if yoy love someone,you wouldn't want him/her to suffer with you.not the wives are selfish,sometimes,you have to see the situation to make such judgements.
