It started with a disaster.

Years he saved up. Years he waited.

He was close to his goal, he told me.

He would take a spaceship, and land on the moon, and I would be by his side...

Together.

But when we were 9... He grew ill.

He'd caught a terrible disease when he visited a foreign country. A disease with no know cure in our own country.

He was told he wouldn't survive.

...

I was there when they gave him the news.

My heart was torn. To know my best friend's dream wouldn't be fulfilled... I though he'd be the same...

But all I saw was a smile on his face, as he said...

"Okay."
