Kudos.
I wish I had done the same. Years ago an old friend got in touch and we started taking about going to see the Corvette museum together. For various reasons I couldn't do the trip any time soon. Not long after he killed himself.
I don't know if going on that trip would've changed anything, but I'm forever left with the doubt. I can't say I will never again, but I don't want to ever let down friends or family again.
