What should I say to my best friend? Should I go?

If I were you I would go considering he's your best friend since a long time but if it's permanent to stay in Italy don't because 1/2 a million a year and your kids have a good education your good to live. Or you could go every once in a while with him because I feel sorry for him as soon as you said "hes been waiting for this his whole life" Good luck bro and cool you sound Hispanic. I'm Hispanic "yo hablo espanol"
