My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to an NDA after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said "screw that" because he didn't crash again and made a recovery.
He's now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.
If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won't be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes
Boy and Mum, tears are bittersweet because they have 7 days to express a lifetime of love, but she will then die. Witch is either sad because curse is foiled, or she's got a heart and is affected by what the boy did for his mum.
