I also remember me at 15, I had raging hormones and thought with my member several times. (Don't know if I've changed that much, have to ask my wife).
What would have been a better for him to ask for? A new playstation (that'd really be earth shattering), a trip to Disney World?
Yea it may be seen as self centered, but put yourself in his place, what would you ask for as a dying wish?
My Grandfather on his deathbed told my father his wished for one last peaceful bowel movement (he was a little more blunt). My father was shocked, until years later when he had quaduple by-bass surgery and finally understood that my grandfather was right.
So not having "walked a mile in his shoes", I give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he made a right request.
Your entire thoughtful (and humorous) post is appreciated.
My thoughts exactly.
Well said!
