Today was the first day that I ever brought my wife, Janine, to see Morrie. She only had to talk to Morrie once over the phone and that was it. She was going next trip. Janine is a professional singer by trait, but she is shy and doesn't like to sing for people on command. Whenever people hear that Janine is a singer they always say "Sing something for us!" She always politely refuses. That is what I expected her to do today, when Morrie asked "Will you sing something for me?" That was also when she started to sing a 1930's standard by Ray Noble. I looked on in surprise as her voice filled the room and Morrie closed his eyes to absorb the notes. When she finished, Morrie opened his eyes to reveal the tears shimmering in them.
