My dream was to travel to Greece with Ismail, but when his ALS advanced to the stage that his ability to travel overseas was no longer a possibility, I decided to go by myself and send him photos and stories every day, then share with him all my travel adventures when I got home. I looked forward to hearing more about his experiences when we compared notes.
