Death is imminent. But what if you somehow knew that tonight you meet the grim reaper. What would you do? I guess that I would insure that my children and spouse would know how much I love them if I could I would spend all my time with them. I'd put my finances in order. I'd really look at the world around me... the mountains, even the dandelion at my feet. And of course, being Catholic I'd go to confession and prepare my self to meet the Lord... What would YOU do?

Wise question. I'll spent my time to do best thing in my life. And the same as you said, I'll prepared my self to meet the angel first,and hope he brought my soul to my Lord

its a blessing from God that we don't know when our time is! but if I knew it.. there's no question I'm gonna prepare myself with the only waypossible.. that is spending all the possible time with God, praying and reading quran(the holly book of muslims) if if I have a debt to anyone , I must pay it,not only money, but any harm or unjustice that I've committed, I must put it right.. I must contact all my relatives and make sure they are all in peace with me! specially my parents, brothers and sisters.. if all this is ok, then I'll meet God peacefully and happily

I'd spend the entire day doing the things we overlook everyday. I'd take time to walk barefoot through the grass and just enjoy it. I'd smile at every person I passed and wish them a good day. I'd help the old lady across the road with her groceries. I'd feed the homeless what I had left. I'd give every cent away to that guy on the street that just wants to get a meal. I'd enjoy the sound the wind makes in the trees. Sounds stupid and idealistic but when I was diagnosed with HIV 14 years ago, I thought it was my last day. Funny how every now and then you get reminded to do some of these simple things!

well the same, reassure my husband, kids and family that I love them. I would go and tell my mother in law off for good (would that give me bad karma though for the next life?) oh and finally, go eat all I can LOL, there. How exciting huh?

I will thank my mom for all of her sacrifices she have done to our family, I will tell my dad that he was a great father, I will tell my siblings that they should study well and have a good job and have a good business, I will tell my friends that they were the greatest treasure of my life, I will tell my girlfriend she is the most wonderful part of my life, I will thank the Lord for giving me a chance to live in this world, and I will tell myself that I am so stupid that I did not do this while I am still living a long time in this world, why I have waited this moment just to say this to them..........

The fact is you are sure you have the moment you are now living and and unsure about the next. What if the ceiling falls in any minute. Lesson is that Catholic or otherwise, make every moment count. Go to confession when you need to. Always keep you finances in order and never miss a chance to love your family whether you are making their dinner, cleaning their clothes, etc. It all counts. Do your best always.

I think I would get out a pen and paper and start writing letters to everyone I know. Tell them about why I think they are great people and how they have inspired me through-out my life. This way when I am gone they will have a personal reminder to keep with them forever.

I would have my hubby take off early from work, get my son in the car & go up to the NICU in Dallas & have Christmas early. Opening gifts with my two babies & hubby. And have a family photo done. I don't have a pictures with my son & daughter together b/c she hasn't come home from the NICU yet (she's had 3 intestinal surgies & is 4 months old) & they don't usually let visitors under 3 yrs old in the NICU. And I would ask a dr if they could take the baby I'm pregnant with (about 5 weeks) and arrange for a surragate mother to carry my baby so he/she wouldn't die as well.

Personally that's one subject I prefer not to ever think about. It scares me to think of dying.

Haha, good question! I guess I would max out my credit card and go scuba diving in the caribbean with my family for the day and spend as much time as possible w/ them. Then I'd give them tons of kisses and hugs and let them know how much I love them and life and living and stuff.

A few years ago I would have told you that I would want to find a man and then spend the night with him but the older I got the more I realized how right you are. I would want to spend it with my family.

if i were to die i would first check all the details of my finances so that my parents do not find any difficulty in aquiring them. i would spend the entire day sitting by my parents,my brother and my better half....i would not reveal the secret that i am going to die because in that case they would all the more become sad and would make my journey out of this world more difficult.....
