and give him the keys．

　　When I arrived, I was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting．As I had thought, the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife．I went in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next．Soon a doctpr appeared． He approached my friend and his wife, and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died．

　　For a long time the two held each other and cried, unaware of the rest of us standing around in pained silence．After they had calmed themselves, the doctor suggested they might want to spend a few moments with their son．

　　My friend and his wife stood up and walked past their family．When they reached the door, my friend's wife saw me standing in the corner．She came over and hugged me and started to cry My friend hugged me, too, and said, "Thanks for being here．"

　　For the rest of that morning, I sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son, and say goodbye．

　　It's the most important thing I have ever done．

　　The experience taught me two lessons．

　　First: The most important thing I've ever done happened when I was completely helpless． None of the things I had learned in university, in three years of law school or in six

　　years of legal practice were of any use in that situation．Something terrible was happening to people I cared about, and I was powerless to change the outcome．All I could do was stand by and watch it happen．And yet it was critical that I do just that -just be there when someone needed me．
