I don't know what the disease is, but I would get my body as healthy as I possibly could. I wouldn't eat red meats or sugar. I'd eat a lot of green vegetables and get my body as much in balance as I possibly could. I believe that our bodies are stronger than any disease, and negativity can weaken the body. I would surround myself with people that I really enjoyed. I would be free to be myself and to life my life to the fullest. I would tell the people that I love how much I love them and make peace with myself. I had a near death experience and I had the choice of whether I wanted to come back, I didn't. I felt more at home where I was than I did in my body. I have no fear whatsoever of passing over; I know you don't die. I wish you well in surgery.

I help people deal with that very question all the time, as a hospice volunteer who works with the dying and their families. Some wish to make peace, some wish to write their history down, some wish to sit around feeling sorry for themselves, and they mope until they die, but all do decide, in one fashion or another, exactly what they want to do. I would shed anything but the here and now, and make sure I had made peace with everyone, and I would make sure there was a written message to everyone I love. Words have healing power, can last for generations, and have the ability to comfort, to instill hope and to help, later in time, restore memory. I would want my sons, who are teens now, to be able to read those letters I would have written about how much I loved them in general and about how much fun I had being their mom when they were babies, and cub scouts, and taking piano and guitar lessions, and playing hockey and losing teeth and all those wonderful snapshots that made them MY boys, special to me like no one else... Those letters would comfort in the first few years after I was gone, then they would guide my boys as they became parents, then they would again provide good memories, and those letters would go on to become a legacy and a piece of our family history, something my grandchildren could someday read and show to their children. That really is what life and family are about. I try to live it each day as if I have a terminal illness--doing what matters, discarding the stuff that doesn't matter...and trying to do some good along the way.

A lot of people work very hard when they are healthy, they don't know what is life about, always no time to do what they like. Only when they found that they are leaving soon, they start to do things they like. And believe or not, this period is their happier moment. To live is miserable if you don't know how to live a life, happy or not is not measure by how long or short. Just live a life, a life that you want.

I have an illness that will kill me someday, and I look forward to going home to be with Jesus.
But in the meantime, I'm still coming to terms with it, making the best of it, taking my meds and generally going on with life with much prayer.
After all, I have places to go, things to do, and people to annoy!!
Pray a lot, and keep smiling if you can.

Do everything you always wanted to do. Have lots of sex, travel the world, and spend all of your money. Hell give some away too.
