One of my oldest friends is near the end. He's been battling one of the worst cancers for a few years. I just talked to his sister - He is back in hospice trying to manage the pain and the swelling in his legs. He keeps saying he just wants to go home, begging to go home... Gahhhhhh. I'm not close enough, nor do I have the freedom to just go see him.

I'm torn between wanting him to fight and stay longer versus letting him go and having him finally be at peace. He's been in so much pain for so long.
