It is sad. But, I bet if you asked him, he would say that the suffering was worth it considering how many lives he has touched and saved.

He previously had a near death experience. I don't know any of the details, but because of that experience, his resolve was strengthened. The glimpse of the bigger picture made him fearless and filled with determination for his mission. He has a clarity about the plans of God that the rest of us can only hope to have. There is no doubt in my mind, or his, that he was sent for such a time as this. Each of us is tasked with the mission to leave the world a better place because we existed. We have all been made better because he walked among us. I would say of the doctor, mission accomplished.

Thank you for your conversation. God bless you fren.
