Really interesting article, thank you so much for the translation! It's interesting how the answers to "What do you need now for the future?" range from very concrete to very abstract.
This gave me a lump in my throat. I've recently had a family member die of cancer and another one fall ill, so I know the feeling of "why didn't I say it when I could?" Of course, it's different for the person suffering, but I sincerely hope that SNSD gets to read this so that we can fulfill the writer's wishes.
