She knew I worked at MD Anderson, so had ask me to visit a friend. He was dying and his eyes were scared. For several years he’d been in and out of emergency rooms for what he described as too much food and drink, but this time it was different. Tears streamed down his face as he finished his story, shut his eyes, and just cried. When he opened his eyes I could tell he’d known all along, he just didn’t want to believe it was there. We’ve all been there, knowing the truth, but unwilling or too scared to accept it. She called me months later; he’d died at home surrounded by friends accepting the moment and their love. Today, be open to moments of love.
