I was watching a talk show the other night and their subject matter was about someone who authored a book about living life as it should be, and about how he would have lived his life if he were to be given the chance all over again. It was sad because, the author died a year after his book came out. I was touched by the author's revelations in his book, especially his love for his wife and kids, and a lot of other things. But what struck me from all that were the questions of 1. What if you had only a day more to live, with whom would you spend it with? what would you say to the person(s) you chose to be with? 2. What are the things that you regretted to have done in your life? and 3. What do you think you could have done more to make your loved ones happy? These questions are a lot to think of really, and I think many of mylotters have a lot to say about it. Lets feel free to share our thoughts and maybe we can learn a lot from the experience. Thanks friends!

I don't have living parents or any children, and I would be quite happy to spend my final day on my own, reflecting on my life.
I may not always have made the best decisions, but I have learned so much from all my life experiences, good and bad.
I feel gratitude that I have loved and been loved. I would satisfied that I did my best for those I loved, whose happiness was more important to me than my own.
Most of all I would be proud of what I was able to achieve, despite all the difficulties I've had to face in life.

hi paid2write! Yes, life is a learning process too. It's what we did or is doing that defines our life for us and how we share it with others. Thanks for your thoughts!

These questions cannot be answered at once. My answer for the first question is "My Wife".
For second question answer for the moment is "Deciding to select the present Job".
Well, I cannot find an answer for the third question as yet.
But three of your questions gives a good message. That is we must determine not to do things which we will have to regret in our life in future. And we must do every possible thing to make our loved ones happy. If we can stay unanswered for your question no 2 and 3 that would be great.
