What would you do? Would you make a list of all the people you had hurt and ask for their forgiveness? Climb a mountain, go skydiving, what.....
I am sending all of the answers that I get into a newspaper that is asking for a story on this. I hope I get at least 50 answers - The prize is $500 scholarship towards college - so I hope everyone can help me out. Thanks everyone!!

I live in the UK so I dont know if that makes any difference to my answer.
I would have thought maybe replies from different countries or different cultures may make a difference to their replies.
Personally, in a sense I would be grateful to know, because if I was going to die and it was going to be in exactly 6 months, then I would drop all the mundane stuff in my life and only do the more important things to me. I would pack in every moment with what I wanted to do - this would be nothing fancy - it would be just living in the moment, and enjoying things as they are in this moment of time.
Which is why on seeing the beautiful blue skies and sun outside I am going to sit in my beautiful garden when I get back home (it is beautiful to me, most people think it is wild and untidy but wildlife love it) and I can sit in the various chairs I have put round it and the butterflies come out and settle around me; I have a hummingbird hawkmoth who comes zooming round the corner and he/she looks at me directly in the face before he/she then feasts on the Valerian and other plants in my garden - it is really a wonderful sight to watch; and there are frogs and a toad; there are other things too.
What I am trying to say is that I would take time out to look and experience the wonderful ordinary things in life which are really quite extraordinary when you take the time out to see them.
So really this is a good recipe for living as well.
Make the most of every moment even the apparently dull and unimportant things in life and you will find them to be extra special.

I wouldn't wait until 6 months prior to start apologizing to the people I've hurt in life. We were all little heathens in gradeschool...
I don't think I'd do anything differently honestly. I'd probably quit working and just spend my 6 months enjoying every last breath that God has blessed me with. I'd wake early to watch the sunrise, and go to bed late. I'd take some extra time to pamper myself... Bake in the sun on the river, bury my toes in the sand at the beach.
I'd spend EVERY SECOND enjoying everything I've been given.

pay bills, finish businesses, enjoy quality time with close friends and family, and go for meditation to prepare myself for the imminent end and subsequent re-birth. I'd actually feel quite happy to know if I'd die in 6 months (or two months, whatever), because most people don't have the privilege and know when the end is near. We are generally insufficiently prepared for death, just as those around us are not usually prepared for the sudden demise of someone close.

I would cry first of all. I would spend time with those I loved, be ready to go up to heaven and be reunited with my first cat that I never got to say goodbye to. Say sorry to my family and close friends for any wrong doing, try to do things i've always wanted to do, organize my funeral, and most importanly have fun.

i would tell everyone that i love...that i love them...over and over again...i would tell everyone else that i love them too so that they will know how happy those people made me in my life.
i would do all the things i'm afraid of doing for fear of death...like bungee jumping(i really want to try that...yikes) ...parachuting etc...
do something daring....like rob a bank...not for the money or to hurt anyone...just for the thrill feel...
then again...who am i kidding...i will probably buy all the books that i havent had a chance to read and sit there and read solidly for 6 months..cant read enough as it is.

Make arrangements to die earlier, at a time and in a manner of my choosing. I feel certain that I can provide myself with a better death than nature.

I would spend as much time as I could with my family....maybe get away and go somewhere special and just concentrate on each other...forget about everyday worries.

I would spend the time left tiding up any loose ends and organizing my funeral,and of course I would ready myself to meet God.
