I wrote The Five People You Meet In Heaven, but my Uncle Eddie never read a word of it," Mitch says. "I wrote Tuesdays with Morrie, but never read a word of it. The book became a tribute to his mother and Mitch is thankful she was able to read it. And I literally stopped that other book on whatever page it was on and began For One More Day that day." "I was depressed over something that hadn't happened yet and I realized, wow, if you feel that strongly about it now, maybe this should be what you're writing. Mitch began thinking about what he would say to his mom if he knew that they only had one more day together. "When I hung up the phone I was hit with this wave of sadness-and I thought, what's it going to be like when I'm not able to make that phone call? When I reach for that phone, and I'm going have to take my hand back because she's not there?" The idea began after a phone call with his mom. Mitch says he was in the middle of writing another book when he decided to start writing For One More Day.
