The content of this book: When my friend bent down to hug me, a smile was on his face: "She is no longer suffering, you should also rejoice for her." His tone was calm, turning the tables to console me, as if the neatly arranged coffin with flowers beside him, where his lifelong partner Phyllis lay, was not his companion but my relative. I lifted my tear-filled eyes and stared at him in shock. His brown, slightly graying hair was neatly combed, and his light gray suit, perfectly pressed, was paired with a dark red tie, making him look vibrant. I expected numbness after grief, a smile even more unpleasant than crying, but what I saw was a sincere smile, charming and free of any sorrow.
