I'd definitely quit work and spend every day with my wife and family. We'd do a Mediterranean cruise, go back to Napa Valley to revisit some memorable places and see a few Oakland Athletics games at the Coliseum. I'd also eat a lot of Popeye's fried chicken, black licorice and Skor chocolate bars (this diet may not even give me six months).
I'd also sell all my assets before my death to ensure that my family was taken care of. But I'd also give a good deal of it to charity, because I've been too fortunate.

What wouldn't I do? I would go to Europe, sell my farm, travel anywhere, take leave from work--since I really may die anyway, umm... go to church more often, see all of my old friends, even ones I had falling outs with. Go to see my sister I guess. I would try to live longer by taking medication or whatever and finding a new doctor or a better one,==that would be the first thing on my list for sure. Then if I had no chance of surviving, I would just do things I normally would not do. I would not worry about getting into debt. I have no family to take over the bills.

I'm only on Yahoo Answers tonight to take my mind off how awful I feel. Maybe I was meant to just scroll through these questions to find this specific one for that very reason. You see, this morning I learned my sister-in-law died. When she went to her doctor in late July he told her she only had a few WEEKS left to live. Talk about total shock for everyone. I kept waiting for him to circle a date on the calendar with that kind of prognosis.
What did she do with the six weeks she had left? She came home to die. To a home she loved where the hospital bed could be set up in her bedroom so she could see the gardens she had lovingly created and that were in full bloom. She specialized in lilies and had more hybrids than I knew there were possible. The gardens were rampant in color and textures--all a testimony to a God she believed in. She invited a minister to come to the house to talk with her--not to console her, but to help her look forward to what was next for her. Her sister and her children were there to help with personal care and to share love, laughter and stories. She and her husband loved each other and were devoted to each other. She was worried how he would be after she was gone. All he wanted was to give her the time she needed to say "I'm ready".
She was on oxygen and had a hard time talking, but it didn't stop her from communicating in other ways with what strength she had, holding hands of her loved ones, glances caught and held so you felt you were the only one in the room with her. She didn't ask you not to miss her because she knew if you loved someone, you would always miss them when they were gone, but neither did she ask you to cry for her. She wanted to live her life in a way that was most important to her--with family.
She died this morning in just that way. Surrounded by love and God's grace. How could I possibly want anything more than this? All the things I thought I'd want to do or places to see or people to meet are superflous when I realize what I want most is already in front of me.

Well, your question says nothing about dying at the end of that 6 months, so I would just continue doing what I'm doing.

I would go to a Benny Hinn Miracle crusade and get healed! I would call ORU ministries and have a prayer partner pray the prayer of faith for my healing and I would get a prayer cloth and anointing oil from them also and start speaking healing scriptures from the bible. "By His stripes I am healed! In Jesus Name!"

I would go to Africa, pitch a tent out on the plains and watch the sunset.

I'd PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd quit work, quit school, and I'd just party. I'd spend all my money on fun stuff, go all the places that I've always wanted to see. Then, When i know i'm about to die, I'd sell my house and stuff and give all the money to the poor and charities.
