Hanlon described: “He was ready to live life. Since his sister’s death, I have never noticed that he possesses that voice. Something has hit him. I really think he has begun to accept things and understand what life is.” “It finally hits me, and I’m ready. I can do it. We can do it together.” Those were exactly his words.
