This Is An Easy One...
Then, I would use whatever is killing me literally to evoke the legend that was Eric. Bring back the man that I was and have Carte Blanche one last time. No one would stop me, nothing could hold me back. They would know how much I loved them, know how much fun you can have if you want it bad enough, know just how to live for the moment, while still eye balling the future. Eric could finally make the impact he always wanted to, for not any reason other than dying!
When you're on the way to meet the next chapter, somehow your words become wise. Your eyes tell more tales. Your experiences read like a road map for those following. People pay attention, love it or hate it.
At some point, I would sit down with my sisters and 3 closest friends and express any wishes post my demise. In a twist of fate, I have done that already...so it would be more like a review of sorts.

Posted Oct 17th, 2008 at 8:51PM My prayer would finally be answered. I would be scared the first day. Then I would contact my two friends and tell them. I play bass so it would go to this guitarist/bassist I know. Then I would tell my family. I already have my grave plot paid for so I would hurriedly pay for my funeral. I would want it open casket so anyone who's there would see how happy I am in death. I'm guessing there would be a few people who would talk to me about the meaning of life. I wouldn't be interested so I would leave. I wouldn't be able to wait until my wretched life would be claimed. I would want to be here, in my apartment, when this life would end. I would want to be alone. It would be my event to celebrate. Anyway, Quoth The Raven Nevermore. | |
Posted Oct 20th, 2008 at 1:13PM seriously dude, what are you waiting for? you are dying. granted you are dying from a fatal case of life, but none of us get out of here alive. evoke the legend that is Eric! seize the day and all that jazz. You might not leave for 50+ years, but you might leave tomorrow. Why wait? Use the good china, and live like you were dying | |
Posted Nov 14th, 2008 at 2:02PM That’s a really interesting question. Besides the usual denial/acceptance that all people go through when they are told they are dying. I think I would pretty angry at myself for living half lived life. I would take whatever time I had left remaining to live my life the way it should be, rather than how I have been. As a matter for fact, I just start doing that now. Thank you for the question. Smokey | |
Posted Jul 29th, 2009 at 9:13AM I had cancer and was told I had maybe two years to live my husband and daughters were crushed as the dr told me this with my family in the room. I stood up straightened out my dress and calmly said. G-D didn't put an expire date on my forehead I'll go when he says it's time for me to go and walk out the door. that was 20 so years ago and guess what i'm still here...living life the way i always have loving and caring for my family and friends, laughing till tears come out my eyes and my stomach get sore...no one can take that from me but HIM. | |
