Summary Chapter 20

Hazel talks about the clichéd notion of the cancer patient´s “Last Good Day”. She says you never know when the pain seem bearable.
After that hazel gets a call from Augustus and he asks her to meet him that night at the location where Support Group is held. He asks her to prepare an eulogy.
Hazel tells her parents, that she´s going to meet Augustus that night and they protest that they never get to see her any more. Hazel gets angry, saying they uses to complain she was a homebody.
She shouts that she doesn´t need her mother like she used to and then storms off to her room, to write the eulogy. Later her father block her, while she was going to leave and Hazel tells him, that Augustus asked her to write him an eulogy.
When Hazel arrives, she saw Isaac standing at a lectern facing Augustus. Augustus states he wanted to attend his own funeral. In his eulogy Isaac describes Augusts as a “vain”; “pretentious”, “self-aggrandizing bastard”, who was uniquely capable of interrupting and editing his own funereal. Isaac concludes by stating, he will get robot eyes in future for fear of seeing a world without his friend.
Then it´s Hazels turn. In her eulogy she is telling, that Augustus was the love of her life. She also says she won´t talk about their love story since it will die with them and instead explains how some infinities are longer than others.
Then she says how thankful she is for the little infinity she and Augustus had.
