The book Tuesdays with Morrie really impacted me and helped me think deeper into dying and illness. It was so helpful because I really looked up to Morrie even though I didn't know him, the way he dealt with his illness was very inspiring and opened up my eyes to the little things in life. He did this by explaining and letting us in on his last couple of months alive and being very open with the affects of his illness. He made jokes such as being so sick he will soon have to get his ass wiped by a stranger and how normal it was having people help him pee into a bottle, simple things like this made me respect Morrie.

In the last few weeks of this topic I believe we should explore how to deal with illness. Not the simple things but explore how to make our loved ones more comfortable, I guess that is more of a personal task but brainstorming general ideas could be beneficial to others. Another thing we can explore is certain illness's and the affects they have on people. This would keep us aware and we could learn how to prevent certain illnesses.
