He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me, when a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays, talking 'bout the options, and talking 'bout sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end. "Hows it hit'cha when you get that kind of news? Man, what'd ya do?" He said:
"I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing, i went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'"
And he said "someday i hope you get the chance, to live like you were dyin'"
I love this song. It has such a great message in it that I love being reminded of. Life is short, and it's a gift from above(also a song :)) I know there are soo many things i would do if i knew i had a limit of time.
What is something you would want to do if you knew you were going to die?

i would tell every person around me that meant something to me just that. how much they mean, and how they have helped me through a lot of things ;]
awesome post! thats a really good meaning. makes me think back to the 30 days to live series...
I would go and reconcile with people that I Hadn't been very nice too, or spend more time with people that meant the most to me.
I would do the same as alec and tell everyone how much they mean. and i'd prob do something a little crazy. who knows!
well you might find me on eruption with jordan...lol. no i would probably just spend my day with my friends letting them know how much i love them...and apologizing for the stupid things i've done. but that may take more than a day...:)
I'd keep doing what I'm doing right now....I really like it! ; )
