If you were on deaths door what would you choose for your final, dying wish?
To see your loved ones just one last time? To listen to a final piece of music that reminded you of before you fell ill? To revisit an old place you used to know?
All good suggestions; but one man had a better idea.

A hospital in Denmark has released a photograph of a patient fulfilling his dying wish and it's one I'm sure we can all relate to.
Carsten Flemming Hansen, 75, was admitted to Aarhus University Hospital last week suffering from a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
But what was it he sought before he passed over to the other side?

Well, all he wanted was to enjoy a cigarette and a glass of white wine while viewing the sunset from a hospital balcony.
After learning that he was too ill to undergo surgery, and would die within days or even hours, due to internal bleeding, Mr Hansen told his nurse Rikke Kvist he fancied one last taste of the sesh.
"That was when I remembered that we are on the same floor that has access to a balcony," Ms Kvist told Avisen.dk.
Although the hospital has a no smoking policy, an exception was granted and Mr Hansen's bed was wheeled out to the balcony.

"It was a very cozy and relaxed atmosphere," said Ms Kvist. "Of course they were relatives also affected by the fact that he was going to die, and they were sad.
"But it was cozy and there was humour."
The hospital shared the image on its Facebook page and at the time of writing the image had been share almost 5,000 times.
Death can be a tragic thing, just last week a grieving mother shared her experience of losing her young son to cancer.

In a Facebook post on Nolan's awareness page, she wrote: "Two months. Two months since I've held you in my arms, heard how much you loved me, kissed those sweetie "pie" lips. Two months since we've snuggled. Two months of pure absolute Hell.
"I've wanted for a long time to write a little about Nolan's last days. His last few days shined with how amazing my son is. How beautiful he is. How he was made of nothing but pure love."
Mum Ruth described the final hospital stay in the post, which was accompanied by two pictures of Nolan lying down next to the shower which she was using.
"About 9:00pm we were watching YouTube in bed (Peppa Pig actually) and I asked Nolan if I could get in the shower, as I was not allowed to leave him and Mommy had to be touching him at all times. He said "Ummmm ok Mommy. Have Uncle Chris come sit with me and I'll turn this way so I can see you".

She added: "I stood at the bathroom door, turned to him and said "Keep looking right here Poot, I'll be out in two seconds". He smiled at me. I shut the bathroom door. They said the moment the bathroom door clicked he shut his eyes and went into a deep sleep, beginning the end of life passing.
"When I opened the bathroom door, his Team was surrounding his bed and every head turned and looked at me with tears in their eyes. They said "Ruth, he's in a deep sleep. He can't feel anything". His respirations were extremely labored, his right lung had collapsed and his oxygen dropped.

"I ran and jumped into bed with him and put my hand on the right side of his face. Then a miracle that I will never forget happened..."
"My angel took a breath, opened his eyes, smiled at me and said "I Love You Mommy", turned his head towards me and at 11:54 pm Sgt. Rollin Nolan Scully passed away as I was singing 'You are My Sunshine' in his ear.
"He woke up out of a coma to say he loved me with a smile on his face. My son died a Hero. He brought communities together, different occupations, made a difference in people's lives all around the world. He was a warrior who died with dignity and love to the last second."
Nolan had been fighting Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer, since November 2015.
So sad.
