I'd be pretty busy if I only had 17 hours to live. Organizing the party to see every one would take up most of the time. I'd give everything away except the clothes on my back. There would be no trace of me left in the house for my husband to have to deal with. I'd like to spend my final moments out side watching a glorious sunset if possible. I saw one the other night that would knock your socks off. I think I'd like to be all alone for the final moment. I'd want everyone to remember me smiling at them as their final memory.
Well, my will and funeral wishes and banking/financial stuff is already organized and in good hands. I'd write each family member a loving letter, telling each of them just what I love about them. I don't really have anything to apologize for, since I "keep current" with stuff lik that and travel pretty light when it comes to emotional baggage. I'd call each family member and have a cheerful conversation with them, and not mention my impending death to anyone AT ALL. I'd ask my husband to take me to our favorite little restaurant and we'd have a couple of martinis together, or share a bottle of wine, and I'd tell him I want to drive up to our family property (two hour drive) to watch the sun rise over the big pond. He'd oblige me. On the way up there, we could jam out to old Eagles music and other 70s and 80s stuff! We'd crawl into the bed in the cabin and make love. I'd get up really early, leave my husband a funny little note telling him where i was, take my bible out to the pond, row out to the midde of it in my old boat, and read 1 John for a bit, thank God for the amazing life He's given me, and then I'd lay down in the flat bottom boat and go out alone, looking up at the fresh morning sky.
Sounds nice, actually. Beats the hell out of some alternatives.
I'd make the list- who gets what- make a an unexpected visit with loved ones and head for the nearest beach until the birds take me away. I am at peace to die today- God's timing - not mine
If you found out that you were going to die in 17 hours, and you could contact anyone you wanted, as many people as you wanted, who would you contact, and what would you say?
I think only with friends and family including parents. would say that I love them and do not need to be sad.
