Mitch and Morrie discussed many topics in Tuesdays with Morrie. The value on the list that I hold most dear is family. When I say family, I include my closest friends in that because they are like family to me. I hold my family and friends most dear because they are always there if I need them. If I’m having a bad day, I can always count on my dad to say something that he thinks is funny to try and make me feel better. I can also count on my friends to be there if I need advice or just need to talk. My family and friends are my support base and I don’t know what I would do without them.
In many ways, the value of family was taught to me. My dad has moved around a lot for his job so, for my entire life, we have lived hundreds of miles away from the rest of my family, but every year my parents would use many of their vacation days to take us to visit them. Even now, we normally spend Christmas and part of summer vacation with them. Also, for as long as I can remember, my mom has called my grandma every Sunday so that we could talk to her. For the past few years, my dad has also made time to go and spend several days fishing alone with his dad.
Throughout the rest of my life, I plan on going home and visiting my family as often as I can. I also plan on making as much time for my friends as possible. I will even go and visit some of my friends if any of us move away after we get out of school. I want to keep my friends and family as close as possible for the rest of my life because I honestly can’t picture my life without them.
