If Today Was Your Last Day?

Heavenleahangel · 10-08-2012, 05:43 PM

If today was my last day;
I would use every minute of it as wisely as I possibly could. I would get out my camcorder and make a video for my son reminding him how much I love him and that I hope he goes far in life with the love and teachings I have him in his 5 short years.
I would talk to family and make sure my final wishes are known and respected. Also let the organ donation team know it's almost time.
I would also have a final celebration meal with my closest family and friends to reminisce the good times, ask forgiveness for things I may need to ask for and pray my final moments are peaceful and sweet.

Having been in the position to say good bye to both my parents one (me) didn't say much, go into the light and I will take care of him, I love you. My father passed without a word as he went peacefully in his sleep.

I've gone through 2 major surgeries and all I could say to her was I love you, and that is all one can really say, and mean it. The rest is in the Universes' hands.

great discussion, CharmingButch25.

they say it's the journey. not the first or the last. so lets see, ...

i would lip synch for my life! LOL i don't want to go! the only time i would beg lol.

seriously, i don't want to know it's my last day. i want to give and love and live. whatever i'm doing when it's time to go, ... i want to be grateful and smile.

If today were my last day...
I would gather everyone I love, including my fuzz-family, and embrace them all, telling them how much I loved them. I'd probably hug my son the longest. And then spend the rest of the day in each others' company, telling every funny story we could think of...laughing and enjoying ourselves. That is how I would want to go out...surrounded by laughter and love.

If today was my last, I would forgive myself all of my mistakes, missteps and human frailties; that the one I love knew how much and would spend my last hours with my daughters and grandchildren.

I would then be at peace to go.

I would just spend a normal day with my children, as many friends as could come, and loved ones.

Anyone else wondering why we don't do all these things now?

First, I would call out at work. Finally, I could actually call in dead. Well, almost.

Then, I'd spend a bit o' time making official plans and tying up those financial loose ends.

Then, the fam and I would head to something memorable, so Baby Luv would have a lasting memory. Something fun that radiated happiness and would make her think of me every time she came across it again.

I'd see some friends if I could. If I couldn't, then I'd watch over them later and totally haunt one or two of them.

I'd indulge in the stuff that I try to consume in moderation. It would almost certainly involve ice cream.

I think I'd wind down the night with Luvs and Baby Luv in bed, talking about what we like best about the other and how proud we are of one another and how much we are loved and that we are so lucky to be part of that fraction that is loved and knows it.

In the morning, I'm making WAFFLES.
