This was absolutely beautiful. I loved ALL of the characters, and I love the relationships that they formed with one another. I loved the contemplation on life, death faith, and love.... the bonds we make and break. Wonderful concept about two terminally ill patients -- one old and one young -- and how they manage to sift through the days and years of their experiences on earth to prepare for what comes next. Just so sweet and sad and all around lovely.
