I'm going to die in a year
| I buried a 37 year old man this week who got scirosis (wrong spelling i'm sure) of the liver and died only 3 years after his diagnosis. His wife said he had only 1 good year from finding out that he had a problem and the rest was a slow and painfull death. I deal with death every day, people pass away, that's what they do. What I always wondered, is did they live? Living is an art, a careful balance between your own wants and desires and the effect of those wants and desires on others. We play games with ourselves and skip over or walk away from certain wishes and dreams because we know they are fully selfish and would negatively effect the people we love and care for. But that all changes..... When you can say..... I'm going to die in a year. Life or what is left of it suddenly becomes all about you. What you want to do however selfish and whimsical, everyone who cares about you will give you free rain to take part in all those endeavors and it's all justified. So I thought I'd make my list, I'm not done yet so I'm not going to post it, but I'd thought I'd take inquiries from you. What would you do if you were given 1 healthy year to live: GO! |
