By Mitch Albom .
“This is a story about a family, and as there is a ghost involved, you might call it a ghost story. But every family is a ghost story . The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone.”
For One More Day tells the story of Charley, a child of divorce who is always forced to choose between his mother and his father. He grows into a man and starts a family of his own. But one fateful weekend, he leaves his mother to secretly be with his father and she dies while he is gone. This haunts him for years. It leads him to depression and alcoholism. One night, he decides to take his life. But somewhere between this world and the next, he encounters his mother again, in their hometown, and gets to spend one last day with her--the day he missed and always wished he'd had. By the end of this magical day, Charley discovers how little he really knew about his mother, the secret of how her love saved their family, and how deeply he wants the second chance to save his own.
The best part of this novel is this one, i wrote the dialogue for you.
" A thought ?" I( Charles Benetto a.k.a Chickidoo ) looked down. "I'm lost."
My mother moved closer. Her voice softened. "Have you ever dreamt of someone who's gone, Charley, but in the dream you have a new conversation ? The world you enter when is not so far from the world i'm in now."
She put one hand on mine. "When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times. "
Bapak touched masa baca ni, well overally, this whole novel is kinda sad .
