a new man is unable to travel far before they set off she was given morphine for severe pain. from here talking about a song to me. does not feel. good yes that's a line i've written that helps with the pressure and. then slow and his colleagues head out up to 2 times a week some of the passengers regret their choice because once they've seen what they're leaving saying goodbye is too hard for them to bare. their misses or going to take it wasn't comics and then you can handle things quite well right. the so that's just the way our lives psalm 100 now things which is calm van dongen it up there and not just keep on

a guy that's what if i certainly hope so they arrive in her hometown baton. yes here it's just the way it was back then. they'll be as chosen the church as her 1st stop the attendants must roll the stretcher carefully over the cobbles every bump is painful for the terminally ill woman. who is ill via went to church here when she was a little girl later on she didn't go very often but on this day the memory of the services prayers and hymns is somehow comforting. yeah i have my health and yes i've decided that i'd like to be buried here as well after. the fighting.

sylvia wants to take one more stroll around the cemetery with her son this will be her resting place. for many relatives a last journey like this is even tougher to bear than it is for the dying person themselves as they'll be annoying one son wants to get married in a week and hopes his mother will still be there to see it at 1st he says he feared the emotional stress of a trip like this but now he's happy he's here. to know for sure. but he can now i can see about this he's doing it for him and how valuable these moments are a minute and the next days maybe weeks i'll have a much time she's gone laughed joe draw strength from it is enough and that's important and beautiful and. the trip continues on a ferry across the vai's a river facility it's another childhood memory. she wants to see the waters of this mighty river one more time. trying to bend slow reserved a special place with

a view for her. look there's a lighthouse in the background deportment solid water again. in the middle of the waterway the ferries captain turns the boat around a few extra times so sylvia noirmont gets the most of the view. you really get to see something. dance dance and thanks again. thanks very much. it's time for the last part of the tour. zillion noirmont was happier living with her grandparents that her parents. that's why she wants to take a little stroll around the house where her grandparents once lived. down this was grandma and grandpa's house grandpa always said when the house is finished the man dies and that's just but happened. she'd like to take one more look inside but the people who live there now aren't at home. you know that's the way it is.

and they go for another walk around the neighborhood they had to push the stretcher along the narrow main street then slow fulfilled this wish is well. what are sylvia's thoughts on the coming days. concentra ponting pretty relaxed i think i was back here again and that's really beautiful. and i will look at the pictures again. but there's something more to it now why don't earn a list. here. the tour takes 4 hours then it's time to go back to the hospice franklin slow hasn't counted how many last wishes he's made reality. he says his guests shouldn't be reduced to numbers or statistics. then it's

time to say farewell to the passenger and like every time it's goodbye for good even for the young volunteers who go along on the journeys. few of their friends understand why they would want to spend their free time looking mortality in the eye. because of feeders are lots of people sorry hats off to you i can only do that but that's when i say no nonsense he says we've got all sorts of going on and hearing here and here and there not all working jointly deal with our dad with the thought control nevertheless we still manage it convert us which often to us or and and i think anyone can do it if you just have to give yourself a little potion say i'm going to do it. but doing it even after 6 years from vincent says is still hard. to produce not good bye and i said you don't see each other here anymore and someplace else what else can you say. we're back outside the associations

headquarters donations and fees from 1st aid courses that far then slow his colleagues off or pay for everything here. the ambulance is being readied for its next trip from the time a last wish tour is booked every day counts. am just outsourced and we often have a problem that the person who's built the tories in such a rough state that they dying during the planning fangs what is going on and it's a lot like you all called order was another thing that happens often was that i was sent to go outside i started in a t's crossed and the passenger is told that the torah is happening in my title justified and without positive thought in mind isn't he falls asleep and doesn't wake up because i'm over. just got off oil.

all the associations vehicles bear the name of ben slows late wife elizabeth. 6 years ago when she was dying of cancer she wanted to make one more drive to the north sea but events low couldn't find an organization that could fulfill this last wish for her because health insurers wouldn't pay for it. but when they go down to and when our fellow human being says i want is a surety that i very am i was able to send the dying off with a last bit of humanity kindness if we don't honor that purely financial reasons and there's something wrong because that was the last straw that clock pulled. after his experience then slow founded his own taxi service for the terminally ill he regularly invents new things to help passengers get the most of the trip the much more bill for example these are the stuff we get off to macy's designed for people who don't have to line down during that time on. little buses it's uncommon as i

wrote it enables them to travel across title flats on through the water so they can dip their feet once again. that only works because of these bills and the balloon time. since then many people have imitated then slows concept of helping the terminally ill go out for just one last spin the 59 year old however is turning the operation over to his son bit by bit but the name of shannon fox will always be connected to van slow his very own story and stana the german word for star. in the not as metaphor or strong as on the night my wife died i was standing out in the yard smoking my favorite cigar and looking up into the sky. but i must of been up on sodomy the lady from the couple next door when i was francis up was standing next to me cooked with the washing looked at me and settled frank as a star on their shining for you to listen stop them now i'm just like vatican came
