If You Had One More Day

  I just read a book and it was great! It was large print so it wasn't as long as I thought it would be... But it didn't need to be long to get the point across.
   A drunkard tries to commit suicide. He has lost his family to his depression of his mother dying. He decides no one will care And he goes off to kill himself where he grew up. On the way there (he's driving drunk) he gets in a car accident. He's ejected from his car. Then that's where it takes over in his head that he goes to a tower to jump off and die.. But alas! He has failed at his '2nd' attempted suicide. He then finds himself at the house where he grew up. And his mom opens the door! Even though she's been dead!  In disbelief he goes in and they spend one more day together. They go through his past and present and at the end, he wakes up at the car accident. Ready to live his life with the love he should have been first.
    It made me think.. What would you do and say if you had one more day with a person close to you that you lost?
