Ever seen the movie, "Up?" I highly recommend it. If you've seen it, you'll understand that fulfilling dreams, even posthumously, are important. My daughter is holding the picture of a couple who never made it to Europe. It was a promise the husband made to his wife, but wasn't able to fulfill before she passed away. He's 95 years old now, and I promised I'd take he and his wife to "Germany" with me. Here they are in front of the Nymphenburg Castle. :)
I really love "Up," and I love that you're helping this nice looking man fulfill his promise to his wife. I'm sure she's smiling at this photo too. Now just be cautious about aging explorers with packs of talking dogs.
