All I need — all I desperately hope for — is to obtain back again to Australia in time to carry her hand, look her while in the eyes, and convey to her simply how much I really like her in advance of she passes. To convey “thanks” for increasing me, supporting me, and generally remaining there no matter what.

This can be a kind of moments in everyday life in which you just hope the kindness of strangers — along with the love of close friends — could possibly assist have you thru. I in no way imagined I’d need to request something like this, but I truly don’t have another possibility.
