A number of people’s hearts have been warmed as a result of the photo of their final hoorah together, which prompted a chain reaction of people to share similar memories.
Before you depart this world, what is the one thing you most want to accomplish? We are sorry to bother you with such a macabre inquiry, but you do realize that it is a legitimate question, right?
We have no way of knowing when it will be our turn to leave this earth behind. As the conclusion could be reached at any moment, we will count ourselves extremely fortunate if we are given the opportunity to do just one more thing before we leave.
Who will be the last person to whom you say your goodbyes?
In the event that a person you care about passes away and makes one final request of you, what do you anticipate that request to be?
Wouldn’t it be preferable to spend those last few hours with someone doing the one thing they want to do rather than something else? It is possible that this will be the most appropriate method to say farewell, as opposed to remaining in bed and expecting to be greeted by those on the other side.
When Adam Schemm posted his grandfather’s wish to Twitter, the post quickly gained widespread attention.
His grandfather’s dying request was to share a beer with his children before he passed away.
You might say it’s a foolish wish since we don’t know what the effects of alcohol are going to be on someone who is unwell, but if they’re in their final moments, we might as well grant it.
This occurred hours before his grandfather passed away:
My grandfather passed away today.

Last night all he wanted to do was to have one last beer with his sons. pic.twitter.com/6FnCGtG9zW
His sons are gathered around him, sharing bottles and glasses of alcohol. Their mom was holding his hand.
Many readers were so moved by this story that they also raised a drink to Adam. In response, someone posted a picture of themselves and a loved one enjoying a cold beverage.
Similar experiences were had by other internet users with the people they love.
I don’t know you… but I felt this. Days before my grandpa passed he let my dad and I know he wanted a cigar and a beer. We made it happen. I’m so sorry for your loss. Your grandpas smile is one for the books! pic.twitter.com/HDv3y2kLeA

It turned out that a number of people made this desire come true for the people they loved. The comment section of Adam’s post was flooded with responses from people whose grandfathers or fathers had also had a beer with them.
Some people even wrote that in addition to the beer, they also shared a cigar.

One particular man mentioned his brother-in-desire law’s to play golf. He accomplished it in spite of the weather and his agony.
Another woman said her grandmother was only interested in taking pictures.
This one is also heartbreaking.
When my Dad was dying we brought in Slivovitz so he could have a drink with us all. All the nurses would pop in and have a drink before their shift ended. Even some of the doctors popped by too. It was such a sad time but this made us all very happy. 👍
