Description
Just hours before Mother's Day, host Mitch Albom and his wife attended the 2023 ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation Gala, in honor of Chad Carr and Michael Mosier, two children who lost their lives far too soon from the same pediatric brain cancer that took the life of the Albom's beloved daughter, Chika. Held on the eve before Mother's Day, it was a reminder of just what a bittersweet holiday this is for many. For those who have lost their mothers, for those who have lost their children, and for those who never had children and mourn those losses every year. Mitch discusses the event, the deep feelings surrounding Mother's Day, and shares an update on the children of his orphanage in Haiti. If Mother's Day teaches us anything, it's to celebrate your mothers while they are here, and love your children every day.

Episode 5 - Giving Is Living: Perhaps the most important lesson Mitch Albom learned from his beloved professor, Morrie Schwartz, was the importance of giving to others. Mitch once asked Morrie why, instead of trying to help people, he didn't just accept their sympathy, since he was facing imminent death. "Mitch," Morrie answered, "why would I take like that? Taking makes me feel like I’m dying. Giving makes me feel like I’m living.” In today’s episode we discuss how your life, your happiness and sadness, your relationships, even your sense of purpose can all be changed by looking to give of yourself before looking to take. by Tuesday People
