After clearing customs and security, I had quite a few hours before my flight. Hungry and tired, I walked up and down the terminal looking for something to eat. Typical airport food again.

To say the family was devastated by this recent diagnosis was an understatement. His life had been turned upside down. Jack presented to me in significant pain, his wife, was accompanying him on the emergency flight and was worried about [...]
