Mitch Albom - For One More Day

The book asks, if you were given one day to meet and talk to a person from your past, who would it be? What would you want to say to that person?
'Chick' Benetto, had that chance one day, the day that he was supposed to commit suicide. His current situation has driven him to depression forcing him towards the thought of ending it all.
The rest of the story was about how he found out 'explanations' to what happened to his life, aided by the 'ghost' of his mother.
This is a very touching story of survival and realization. It talks about the importance of the role our mother has in our life. Often times we neglect that importance, we even push our moms away from our lives. And we only realize that importance, when they are already gone. And that's the only time we realize the things that we should have done or said to our mother.
This story is true, not only to our mother, or father, or any other family, but to all the things that are important to us. Small things, big things, all of them need to be valued equally. All of them are/were important in one way or another.
