Three Weeks with My Brother by Nicholas Sparks, Micah Sparks
5.0
This book did not just give me an idea of how the other countries look like. Nevertheless, it gave me an idea of how my favorite author’s life was like. Through this book, I’ve learned that [b:A Walk to Remember|3473|A Walk to Remember|Nicholas Sparks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255647580s/3473.jpg|3143497]was inspired by her sister, Dana, who had brain tumor; [b:A Bend in the Road|3463|A Bend in the Road|Nicholas Sparks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1163789083s/3463.jpg|1498124]was inspired by his brother-in-law, Bob (Dana’s husband); and [b:The Rescue|3462|The Rescue|Nicholas Sparks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1163789082s/3462.jpg|1268663]was inspired by his own son, Ryan.
I enjoyed reading the book and felt as if I was with the brothers traveling the world. It kept me going until the last page because I found their life story very inspiring. I love how close they are as siblings. And maybe, one day, once I already have kids, I’ll do the same just like what their Mom did to them when they were kids before going to sleep. I’ll ask my kids to give 3 good things that their siblings did to them that day. I’ll keep my family close so when everything else fails, they’ll still have each other.
I’ve learned that no matter how hard life is, you have to believe that everything will be okay and there is a reason for everything. Set your goals and dreams. Just be optimistic.
"...Life could end at any moment, and it was better to be happy than busy."
