In Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom a character by the name of Morrie Schwartz is visited by his old student Mitch Albom because Morrie has ALS and is dying. Mitch and Morrie decide to spend Tuesdays with each other. Morrie once says “Forgive ourselves for all the things we didn’t do and all the things we should have done.” It’s about time we all understand this.

Derick death was sudden and unexpected and through the whole thing I never realized how much it was affecting my dad. I was not there for dad through this because I did not hink it would have ended this way, but now I see how much my dad and brother are hurting.

Now that I see my dad and brother struggle I wish I would have been there because nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing your 12 year old brother and your dad
