Sorry Chewy, that was not my intent. Just keep loving your little girl!

I'd spend my time making sure that my little girl had loads of good memories of fun times we had together and maybe put together a journal of instructions for whoever would be looking after her....just little things that they might otherwise miss....id be living my life to the max....with her.....
Damn! this question reduced me to tears....!

The first thing that would change is that I would quit my job, sell all that I have, and then travel as much as I could till the end. I would love those who are close to me with a stronger love than I can imagine. I would savor every moment spent with them the same as I savor my most loved food. I would make sure that my children would not cry for me when I was gone. I would make sure that my time on this planet did not become a burden to them. I would give out all that I did not sell so that there would be nothing to fight over that would cause arguments in the family and break them up after I was gone. I would spend some time in the streets with the homeless and the drunks trying to let them see that no matter, I have never considered myself to be better than them and that I work a job that pays 7.50 an hour and I am able to support my family and keep a roof over our heads, a phone, cable for TV, the Internet, maintain a car, and get myself to work everyday. We struggle a lot, sometimes we don't have steak to eat, but we always have food. So if I can do it they can do it. I think the biggest change for me would be this, I would no longer place so much value on living, but rather on dieing gracefully and with dignity as it would have become my utmost goal in life to share that death is not the end. It is the open door to God which in the end is what I know I have to look forward to.

Being 64 I have thought about it some...
Would for sure do the following:
Begin actively meditating and seek inner peace
Write down notes for my children and family on finances
and get finances in order
Be with people more often
Actively deal with my own grief process
Tell my loved ones how I love them
Enjoy what I can and be more aware of life

I would do all of those things that are on my "Before I'm 30" list. Silly little things like spending the whole day at the beach, going to a Yankees game, all kinds of crazy things, but also serious things like trying to convey my love to those I care about so there would never be any doubt in their minds about how I feel, praying more, getting closer to Jesus Christ, things like that.

That's one of those questions you really don't know the answer to unless you have been there.
I think that I would focus mostly on Bible study and my family. I would not want it to be three months of a long goodbye. Everyone at the end of three months would be like, "We've been at this forever, when is she going to go already!"
I would not want to make expensive trips like Disneyland or anything, because those are stressful (unless I was really rich and could fly there and stay at a decent hotel and it wasn't stress). I would rather play games with my kids, take lots of walks, cuddle with them, spend lots of time with my husband doing simple things.
I would make plans for my kids. Since I homeschool, my husband and I would have to decide what to do about their education. I would make very sure that they understood about salvation, knew where I was going, and I would want to make sure that they knew that God had plans for them, plans not to harm them but for their good. Since those plans didn't include me, they must include something better. All of my kids are saved, but I would make sure they knew how important it was to stay saved - I want to spend eternity with them.

I would laugh, love forgive and pray more. I would stop and listen to what people are really saying. And I would arrange my own furneral service. Since I have 3 months to prepare I would make it my own and create a happy memory for those left behind.

The song, "Live Like You Were Dying" almost sums it up but I would add that I would talk more about Jesus and what His Love and Sacrifice means to me and how much He loves you/others. I do try to do that but there isn't that urgency since I do not know that death is imminent.

I would be afraid, even though I'll try to think positive and try living life to the fullest.

3 Months is such a short time..

I would do all the things I ever wanted to. Tell the things I should've said... and live my life how I should be living it.
