It's your last day to live. What would you do?

Question

I'd tell everybody I know that I love them and that my life would not be the same without any of them.

tehehe. I love this question. It really makes you think about what you love the most in the world. Another followup question: would you do whatever you've answered now? Don't you want to live your life to the fullest?

=( I want this question to be featured to see what more people would say. I'm on the verge of tears just reading all these answers. Is anybody else?

Answer 1

I wouldn't do anything differently than any other day. I'd get up, play with my dog, kiss my husband good-bye and tell him I love him as he walked out the door, and I'd savor the taste of a good breakfast and a freshly brewed pot of coffee.

I'd talk to my sister on the phone, call up a few friends and see how they're doing, then go out for a ride and grab one of those nice big icy cold McDonald's diet sodas to have with lunch.

Then I'd spend the afternoon working on whatever story I was writing at the time, do a little needlework, and play with my dog some more. Fix a good dinner, talk to my husband, listen to my favorite music, and then go to bed with a prayer of thanks on my lips for another glorious ordinary day.

My grandfather always said that the better you treat people while they're living, the fewer trips you'll have to take to the cemetary afterwards. I've tried to live my life by those words and keep short accounts with the people I love. If they or I die unexpectedly, I don't want anyone to live with regrets because of an apology that wasn't made or an "I love you" that never got said.

If you live every day in the knowledge that even ordinary events are extraordinary and that the smallest thing is a potential source of joy, then you don't have to do anything different on the day you leave this earth. You'll already be in Heaven.

Answer 2

I would take my kids to disney world and act like the biggest goof ever and make them laugh harder than they have ever laughed before. I would stay up late holding them and my boyfriend long after they fell alseep. I would write my kids an individual letter telling them about the day they were born and how I felt and what my hopes and dreams are for them. I would tell my boyfriend that he is the most wonderful man I have ever met and that he has made me and my kids the happiest people with all he does for us and all the unconditional love he gives us.

After my mom died 5 years ago, I told myself that I would live each day like it was the last but this question made me realize that I have failed at the promise I made myself back then.

Answer 3

I will try to remember all that made me who I'm on that day and also I will say good by to everyone. Also I will make sure that I have the most wonderfull and pacefull day of all.
Why? Because finally my soul has got it chance to evolve into something bigger and better and I'm sure that if I have been good people I have nothing to be afraid of. After all death is actually like been born, is a clean slate and also because the only thing that we know for sure we will get to do on outlife time is die...

Answer 4

To me everyday of my life it is the last time to live because I do not what lie next. time is to short and precious thus way I enjoy every bit of my time. I tell my sons every most of the day that I love and they more important then anything in the world. I apologized to people right after I end up in argument with people, and sometimes I try not things get to me do not take life for granted. time is money and enjoy while you can because everything happen at any time any day.

Answer 5

I'd probably write my parents and tell them finally how much they mean to me.

I'd cry some and miss my cat and my friends.

I'd try and make some peace with dying -- acceptance and welcome the peace.

I'd probably drive up to the poppy fields even though they are not in bloom right now and remember my wife. And walk on some of the paths that we used to enjoy so much. (damn this is making me all teary).

And if I knew the hour and minute ... I'd probably spend my last hour getting politely drunk ... sipping some jack daniels and mock saluting my life and fate. I think some Miles Davis on the stereo, Kinda Blue would do it just fine.

Answer 6

I would pray as i do every morning,Spend the day with family and friends as i normally do.And feel good about the fact that through my actions in the past. That, they know for a fact that i love them and i always will. And, most of all, thank God that i had them in my life and always showed them that i loved them, rather than just say it. And that they won't have to think of "nice " things to say about me. They can speak honestly and say that i showed them all that i loved them, more than i did myself. Oh, and if God granted me the time, I would go fishing one last time.

Answer 7

ok well i would be with everybody i no and love my whole family and friends we would cry laugh and just have as much fun as posible. we would also go out and go to paris and go shopping and spend all that money and live life too the fullest that day it would be soooo much fun. i would love for this not too happen b/c i think i wouldn't be able to handle it.

Answer 8

I would write a loving letter to my family and then chain myself to the steps of a hospital with a sign saying "Life is treated like a privilege and not a right. Fix our health care system and make it a right and not a privilege." Then I would die on the steps.

Answer 9

I would probably do what Michael Landon did, i.e., gather
all my family around me and reminisce about the good times we had with each other. After awhile I would tell them to not cry for me...to go on with their lives, love one another and be the best that they can be.

Answer 10

go for a walk in the woods w/ my children and loved ones and have my time capsule w/me so when the other ones find me thousands of years from now they will know who it is they found so they don't have to make up a story about my life (and family) based on guesses,they'll get it right or so I hope. Of course we'd all have our names tattooed so they know who's who.
