My reactions to this portion of my book is very sad. When hearing all of the difficulties that Morrie was facing and how his death was slowly spread out over a span of some months just pulls at my heart. Knowing that he only had a certain amount of time to live would've just made me depressed, but not Morrie. Morrie's outlook on his coming death was actually a very positive one. He used this time to spend every waking moment with friends, loved ones, family, and co-workers. This also made me feel a sense of happiness because Mitch and Morrie were finally reunited and that their final class together was just starting. A class that Morrie would like to call life.
