if you had 48 hours on this earth...

I recently had an uncle pass away (tuesday actually) after a long 3 year battle with a rare form of cancer typically found in children... he was put on hospice on sunday and died tuesday... i have had a hard time dealing with this; in my depressed state, i have thought, ,what would you do with your last 48 hours on earth? would you spend it with the one you love? would you see things you have always wanted to see?

And I'm sorry about your loss.

first dear one, lose is personal, it changes life into memories, stop action ones...

what would i do... depends on how i felt. i did died last fall.. at the time i did not care to do anything.. but die.... i dont know why i m here now.. dont know why i stayed.. death scarred my life.

but did go to the ocean a year from this weekend to see the sea one more time.. the place of life.. the roar of god.. the sands as the stars underwater... i cried for me.. for the them my family, for the life that was, and did not happen, for the god i knew and have not felt yet... for the new love that came to talk me into living.. letting go in the beginning was hard,, in the end i could not care about nothing... the body was not holding any life..

now.. i m lost.. nothing is right. nothing is me, nothing is alive nor dead.... at times in between.. yet i know what i am not....dead.. now i just have to be.....changed.....

So sorry for your loss. I think how I spent the last 48 hours of my life would depend on the circumstances of my illness.

I would eat a lot. All of my favorite foods/deserts.haha
And I would tell everyone I love how much they mean to me
I would do/say everything I never had the courage to do/say before.
I'd be wild and spontaneous.

I'm sorry for your loss

For the first 24 hours, I would take all my friends and family and go to the local pub and get totally bombed.
Then for the last 24 hours, I would grab two Beretta M9's and several thousand rounds, and go on a vigilante spree with a twinge mixture of Crank and Boondock Saints. Then, after I eradicated all evil, I would grab my guitar and throw a wicked concert containing beer, skateboarding, and fireworks. By the time I died, my town would be half drunk and completely without crime.
