This was such a sweet book. Although it got a bit repetitive at times, with Morrie and Albom always talking about "The Culture" and how people need to appreciate their daily lives in a humble way, I thought it was such a beautiful thing to see how much these two men meant to each other. Morrie is a normal guy, albeit more reflective and earnest than most, but Albom's decision to weave together all of his teachings elevates him to such an aspirational level. Everything, after all, is about old friends. 
This quote from the afterword made me tear up: 
"I said, 'Hello Morrie. This is Mitch Albom. I was a student of yours in the 70s. I don't know if you remember me.'
'How come you didn't call me Coach?' he said. "
