Why should I use "considering" in this sentence?
"I looked forward to this visit more than one would think, considering I was flying seven hundred miles to sit along side a dying man."
Above sentence, I thought I can also use "considered" instead of "considering" but the aswer says "considering" is correct grammar.
But I can't understand why I should use "considering".
Please explain me the grammar far above sentence?

In your sentence, it is a conjunction. 'considered' is Past Tense of 'to consider', and the Past Participle.
