Let's say your doctor told you that you have a month, maybe two to live. You have a terminal diagnosis.

What would you do with that last bit of time alive?

Myself, I want to go on a death ride. I want to drive around the country with any member of my family that wants to go, and see sights and old friends. I want to go as long as I can, and hopefully die somewhere meaningful. I don't want to spend time hooked up to machines, I don't want to have courageous measures taken to prolong my life.

*For the record, I'm in remission.
 
Yeah, I have the living will documents all signed and distributed to my kids. And that is how I would like to spend that last bit of time: with family.
 
Give all my sentimental stuff to my friends and family.

Tell my family my wishes again. (No funeral. Go do something fun together and remember me.)

No grave.

Cremate me. Preferably after I'm dead.

Scatter my ashes wherever you like.

The beach would be nice but make sure it's not a windy day. The ash blowback would be gross.

I'd re read my favorite books.

Sneak into the local library at night and have a sleepover.

Go to my exes house and strip his car into individual pieces.

Then sit somewhere he cant see me to see his face.

No malice or hate. Just a small fuck you for being a violent son of a bitch and not bothering to be a part of his sons lives who are now grown happy wonderful productive young men.

Go swimming naked at my favorite beach when no one is there.

Go to a race track and let a race car driver go as fast as he can with me as a passenger.

Give my succulents and cacti to my gardening club friends.

Frame my personal poems to give to family members. (The ones that i wrote for them when they were born)

Spread bigreds ashes. đź’—

In the last few days of my life I'd find a body farm take a good book, a photo of my family. My drivers license in my wallet with a note in it.


"Here lies debbie. I'm dead and have chosen to be useful. I died from... and want my body to go to science. I dont mind being worm food or having medical students document my rate of decomposition and relevant scientific information."

Thanks for adding the remission line. I saw the title and my heart sank bro
 
Probably visit friends and family giving away stuff. Spend some evenings in the mountains looking at the stars. Spend some days near the ocean listening to the surf. Do some fine dining before I lost my appetite. Possibly go to see the Hawaiian Islands, or French Polynesia or New Zealand's South Island or an art museum in England featuring Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Places I've never been, but wanted to see for a long time. I'd play it by ear, and only do as much as I had the energy for. No point in making the last weeks more miserable than they already are.
 
say my goodbyes properly, but briefly enough, make sure everything's in order, go places with just H... sleep out under the stars, with a fire pit and delicious food and make love; spend hours in a beautiful swimming pool or calm cove, letting my inner mermaid free; watch any movies i never got to see but really wanted to; read/write/paint/make H something personal to remember me by... above all else, embrace a sense of calm, freedom, joy and embracing the beauty of this world
 
This thread makes me sad.

I'd fly home and spend my remaining time with my daughter.
 
I'd rob some banks, steal some cars, and run a drug empire.

But first I'd spend as much time as possible with my family.
