21-year-old terminal cancer patient Chris Taylor played an E3 demo of Smash Bros Ultimate for three hours when Nintendo brought it to his home in Ontario, Canada. He has only months to live and it was one of his final wishes.
I’ve seen this everywhere but it’s still incredible scary how he knows he’s dead and it’s just waiting to see when he’s dead dead. I don’t think I could live like that and still be as happy as he looks in this picture.

He said he appreciates all the love from reddit, so cheers.
First time poster, long time lurker, but this story deserves some light. I have a similar story that also happened in Ontario. There was a police officer in Durham, ON (Near Toronto), who passed away a few months ago from terminal cancer, he was my parents neighbour's brother. He was in his late 30's and had two kids and a wife. He was a huge Marvel fan but could not get out to see Infinity War as he was stuck at home as he was in the late stages of his cancer. His wife kept asking him if she could reach out to someone to try and arrange something, but every time he kept saying it was no big deal and to not worry about it. Without him knowing she somehow reached out and made her way up the chain in Disney, trying to figure something out. In the end Disney ended up flying someone to their home with a physical copy of Infinity War to screen for him, his family and his friends. At the end of the movie they asked everyone to leave the room except for him. They ended up telling him in private what would happen in the next Avengers movie and Marvel Universe as he was not going to be alive to see it. Which thank god they did because I can't imagine what watching the end of Infinity War with terminal cancer would have been like. I had a huge amount of respect for Disney/Marvel after hearing that story.
