For a moment I just stood there, unable to think or move. Then I tried to figure out what I should do. Follow my friend to the hospital? There was nothing I could do there. My friend’s son was in the care of doctors and nurses. Be there for moral support? Well, maybe. But my friend and his wife both had large families, and I knew they’d be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support. All I could do at the hospital was get in the way. Also, I had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home. So I decided to head back to my house and check in with my friend later.

　　?As I started my car, I realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts. I now faced another problem. I couldn’t leave the keys in the truck. So I decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys.

　　When I arrived, I found the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife. I slipped in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next. Soon a doctor 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. 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 numbly 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.”
