The Twelfth Tuesday
It
is the Twelfth Tuesday and Mitch and Morrie discuss forgiveness. The
whole time, Mitch rubs lotion on Morrie’s feet to relieve them of some
pain. Morrie tells Mitch a story in which he never forgave one of his
friends for an incident which happened years ago. He then continued to
say that we also must forgive ourselves for the things we feel we should
have done. At the end of the chapter Morrie tells Mitch that if he
could have had another son, he would have liked it to be Mitch. The
chapter flashes back to a conversation between Mitch and Morrie when
Morrie found the place in which he would like to be buried. It is on a
hill beneath a tree and overlooking a pond. He hopes that Mitch will
come visit him and tell him all his problems.
