One day to live

What would you do if you had only one more day to live?

Re: One day to live

One more day…it's hard to fathom just having one day left to live and be a part of this world.

I suppose most people would go out and do something outrageous, something they would never think of doing if they had the rest of their life ahead of them. I suppose still others would do their favorite things that they like to do one last time.

Not me. I thought about it, and I would rather call all of my family together and visit with them. Even travel to those who could not come to me and be with them, laugh with them, make sure that we did not part on bad terms.

I would like the last thing I remember to be the loving faces and smiles of my friends and family. To know that I cared for others and that they cared for me in return.

I would call my best friend of almost nine years (whom I haven't actually seen in almost three) and tell her everything that's happened this year, listen to everything that's happened to her, tell her I love her.

Then I would write a letter to my somewhat estranged parents and tell them how I feel about everything that went wrong and thank them for everything that went right.

Then I would spend the rest of the day with the man I love doing all the things we love. I would sketch him, write him one last love poem on the sketch, and beg him to forgive me for something foolish and hurtful I did to him a while ago.

Wow…I got emotional just thinking about all that. Good question, really.

Re: One day to live

I agree that it's hard to think about it, but if I did only have one more day to live, I think I'd do what is entirely impossible to do where I live (close to NYC…right across the river)

I'd pack my bags, go to Eagle Rock, PA and justrelax with a few close friends and of course my family. Nothing beats good times with friends and a relaxing day with family. It's peaceful, it's quiet, it's the woods! We'd talk about the times that meant a lot, the tumultuous, the uplifting, and the happy-go-lucky. We'd sit around and talk for hours, and finally, we'd say our goodbyes. I would ask them one last question: Did I make a difference in your lives? The one thing I want to know before I move on is if I made a major difference in a life. Then I'd tell my family that I loved them and will miss them, and not to mourn for me but to rejoice in my moving on to a better place. Lastly, I will tell my most beloved that I loved her, and that being with her gave me the happiest days of my life, and that I will never forget her, and hope that she will never forget me and who I am and what I stood for in her life.

Wow….I agree with Meredith too….good question!

Re: One day to live

If I had one day to live, I would go out and buy a toy or something really nostalgic.  I would leave this to my best friend.  Then I would have a small gathering of family and close friends a my house.  I would have my girlfriend with me every second I could, and I would end the day star gazing with her.

I would get on my bicycle and attack the hills heading to the lake in Briones and ride it without stoppping without worrying about my heart rate and if it was going to kill me.
