Thank god they got their happy ending. Not that I hated the journey, but my heart can't take the anxiety of wondering when the other shoe drops. Seeing him be so at peace with the couple and their child, and then being reunited with the girl brought a smile to my face.
Although, I can't tell if he really passed away at the end. Seems strange for him to go off on a boat ride like that before he died, but maybe he did for his granddaughter's sake.
