If you only have a week to live, what would you do?

I was contemplating on one of the questions one myLotter has posted regarding the current state of the universe, and this question (which is somewhat related) just popped up in my head. If I were asked this question, my mind can't help but to ask back: Why would I die? Do I have a terminal illness? Currently, I can say that I am in about half of a human lifespan. And if I were to die this young, I'd choose to die unaware - as in sleeping. But if I was told that I only have a week to live, I guess my first reaction would be shock, fear, and sadness. After this, when reality sinks in, and I can think in my normal state again, I will start to organize all my unfinished business here on earth. I would resign from work, assign all of my properties and things (sentimental, valuable or otherwise) to my family circle, and friends. Go to church daily (I'm a Catholic) and pray to Him; thank Him for the gift of life and always guard, guide, and bless my loved ones. If I have enough or more than enough cash, I would tour the whole world with my family. Visit places I haven't been to and places which I treasure so much. Thank everyone for every bit & piece they shared with me, even for just a while. Tell them how much I love them. E-mail all of my internet friends and tell them to treasure life, and loved ones. Also thank them for every advice they've given. How about you?

If I only had a week left to live I doubt really I would do much all that different..I would want to spend more time with my husband, kids and closest friends and i would gt my affairs in order but other than that I really wouldnt do anything eles...I think trying to do too much in that week would be a negative thing cause you'd live the week out in a rush and panic and i wouldnt want that ya know...
