We all expect to live for a long time. That's just the way we have been designed. To go from baby to teenager to adult to senior. But, what would you do if you found out that tomorrow was the end? How would you cope? Personally, I have too many things left undone. I have never thought about this before now, and if I only had one day to live, here is what I would do:

Pray-I would have to thank God for the life I have had, and the one I am about to enter into with him. I would ask him to watch over those closest to me, and make sure that any loose ends with God are all tied up.

Say I Love You-Sometimes I forget to say I Love You to the people I love. I would have to say goodbye, but more of a see ya later, as well as telling them how much they mean to me. I wouldn't want to leave this world without everyone knowing they meant the world to me.

Pay My Bills- I would not want my unpaid bills to come back on my loved ones. Not that I have many to pay, but just the everyday cable, phone and electricity bills. I would not want to burden my family with the extras.

Right my Wrongs- We all have people in our past that we have wronged. It may be as simple as telling someone you hate them, or worse, you may have broken someone's heart. I would want to apologize to some people, and I would want to make amends. It is as much for closure for someone else as it is for me.

Ask Questions- I grew up without a father, and he passed away last year before I could get a chance to ask him what I wanted to know. My mother and I were not close, and I was raised by my grandparents. I would have to ask my mom a few things, things that I have always been afraid to ask.

Get Married- My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years, and we have been planning on buying a house, and marriage has been on our minds too in the last couple of months. I would want to get married before I die, just go to City Hall and have a little ceremony, as I have dreamed of my wedding day since a very young age. It would break my heart if I knew I couldn't get married before I die.

The last thing I would do before I die, is just cuddle up with my boyfriend and ask him to just hold me, where I feel is the safest place in the world. I know that I would be at peace, and I know he would be at peace with that as well.
