They wanted to be alive.
And a lot of times what you do as a hospice volunteer is you just are there.
You're just of service.
You're like, I'll do the dishes.
I'll take out the trash.
I got to do the grocery shopping for you, whatever.
I just want to be of service.
You're dealing with this big thing.
Let me help with some of these other things.
But I would walk out of every single hospice visit
And I was like a samurai, like I was like a Zen monk.
Like I could hear the rain because I was like, I don't have esophageal cancer.
Like all the other stuff going on in my life right now, I don't have that.
Like I don't have what's going on behind that door right here on the street, just like the street you live on.
There's a house where someone right now
is like they're dying.
Like their father's dying, their mother's dying.
Like this is it, this is it.
And everything else falls away.
All the bullshit falls away.
