My Favorite Passage from a Book

Day 55: a passage from a book that has touched you
I love books. I always wanted to have a mini library in my house someday. One of my favorite reads are inspirational books like Danielle Steel's His Bright Light and all of Mitch Albom's works. Lucky me, I have friends who allow me to borrow their books, I have access to a ton of good reads. Today the question is about a book passage that touched me. I have been inspired by a couple of passages from different books but this passage from Mitch Albom is among my personal faves.
I was touched by these lines because I experienced death. Death, as in I don't enjoy my life anymore. But that was before, when I didn't have Jairus yet. When I experienced extreme sadness that's when I appreciate happiness. Maybe that's just the nature of things, because life is like a spin of wheel. Sometimes we really have to experience death to be able to feel life--a good life.
