“ Forgive everybody everything.” This is one of many lessons that Morrie taught Mitch before he passed away. Although I’ ve never really had a“ Morrie and Mitch” type relationship, this message still stood out to me. That statement itself isn’ t what had me thinking though. When he said,“ Not everyone has the time I’ m getting,” is what really got me thinking. Forgiveness is one thing most people take for granted and it’ s not until they

My great uncle always says,“ He has patience like Job.” In the bible Job was a wealthy man with a big family. He had everything. So the devil told God that he is protecting Job from danger, and God agreed to the devil’ s statement. God took everything away from Job. Everybody started thinking that they should forsake God, but Job didn’ t, and Job got everything back. My relationship with my Great Uncle is perfect. Since I was a toddler, he and I did everything fun. Hanging out on the beach, playing with the waves, and walking on the boardwalk are a specific memory that symbolizes my relationship with my great uncle.
The life lesson my uncle taught me is to be patient. You always have to patient, even though it is hard. How he taught this lesson was in the car at a light. He was the second car waiting for the light. When the light turned green, it took eight seconds for the car to go. So I was telling my uncle to beep at the car to go. Calmly he said no. So I was asking him, why did you not beep the horn? My uncle ironically said that if the car didn’ t go on the green light for eight seconds, it’ s still going to go. To me it sounded stupid, but until know it is the truth, because it doesn’ t matter how long they take, they are going to go, and you just have to be patient.
I got better patience because of my great uncle. All you have to do is wait and it will happen. What people see their selves in me are happiness, sometimes playing around, and just being a good friend. I thank god for my great uncle, he is like a second father to. I’ m really glad to talk to him and be around him for the rest of my life.
