Whenever people ask me about having children or not having children, I never tell them what to do,” Morrie said now,
looking at a photo of his oldest son. “I simply say, ‘There is no experience like having children.’”

Rob was kissing Morrie on the forehead, and Morrie was laughing with his eyes closed.
“Would I do it again?” he said to me, looking surprised.
“Mitch, I would not have missed that experience for anything. Even though...”
He swallowed and put the picture in his lap. “Even though there is a painful price to pay,” he said.
