About This Episode
Sudden death. It’s nothing we ever prepare for, nor is it the sort of death most people think about when they picture themselves at the end of their lives. On today’s Tuesday People episode, Mitch Albom shares a harrowing story of his past two weeks spent in Haiti, at the same time the country’s president was assassinated. With martial law being declared, borders closed and a mandatory lockdown issued, the outcome for all was uncertain. Mitch remembered the Buddhist story that Morrire shared about the bird on the shoulder. Every day you ask the bird, “Is today the day that I die?” If the bird says yes, you must ask yourself if you are prepared. Are we ever prepared? How do we know when we are ready?

Thank heavens you were all fine. It is a worrisome situation. I have never had a situation where I worried about dying like you have. I have no regrets if I suddenly died . Like you, I figure I still need to do some things. If I were you I would always take extra precautions when you go down there. I know that the kids mean the world to you and all of us who are following along.. They are sweet and they are so lucky to have you. I just feel that Haiti needs to change. How can they not want to see their people thrive. To me they don’t care if they starve or die. That is just wrong to have values like that. I find it all sickening. I will always worry every time you go. Stay safe
