I would indelibly imprint on my brain every single special person, and every generous act that had ever been extended me. I would make a videotape farewell for my son, so that when he reached the age of full reason, he could better understand what I had to say. I would walk and talk with my wife, and finally I would drift off to sleep in her arms, while dreaming of the happiness that I was granted in this life.
