Excellent story, talk about a friendship! I can't quote it exactly, but when Morrie gives his talk about the absence of love, he told Mitch that there is a kind of black hole that can be filled only by loving human relationships. Where there is love, a person can experience no higher sense of personal fulfillment. Wow.
Morrie has been my personal hero with all this MS crap, he taught me to stay disconnected from the MS and hold hard onto living. Amazing book, might be time to read that one again, thanks lambchop!
