My condolences for your young friend…
Indeed. Actually last year I could manage to fly to Japan with one of my daughters and to see my uncle on his deathbed. That trip was not only for him, but I was so happy to see him.
Moreover it so nice to see he was so glad to see us and talked more than usual, although his condition was so bad.
Thank you for sharing your sad but precious experience! Hope many people learn from you!
