But he never stopped enjoying life and during the years he have become one of my best friends with enough energy, love and kindness to light up a whole village. I looked in the archives and this film is a tribute about all the adventures we shared leading up to the surgery that saved his life. From Norway to Croatia, a couple of idiots abroad, kiting, dancing, and living life to the max.
