the life lessons that I learned related to my grandfathers death. As a project I used many aphorisms‚ a life lesson‚ and related that aphorism to both Morrie’s life and my grandfathers life. My grandfather‚ just like Morrie‚ passed away‚ so I had my grandmother compare the aphorism to my grandfathers life. I picked five of my favorite aphorisms‚ then compared those aphorisms to Morries life‚ and finally had my grandmother relate it to my grandfathers life. I videotaped the entire discussion of the

what Celane described and what I now know to be fact.

I did not like this at the time and hated my parents for making me do this work. But working with my grandfather taught me character and
