NEW: The dying wish of an Orange County, California, man has come true: To watch his daughter graduate high school.
Bill Kerwin is battling Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is not expected to survive much longer.
After his health began to deteriorate, 16 of his closest friends decided to take action by holding an early Huntington Beach High School graduation ceremony for his daughter.
His daughter, Abbi Kerwin, was seen holding his hand as she accepted her diploma.
"You are the best man I've ever met, and I am so proud to receive my diploma from you," his daughter said through tears.
God bless them.
