Last Call

[kathy stl]

OK, here I am again. A couple glasses a wine and I start a thread and make a fool of myself.

But my girlfriend read a book to me over the last couple weeks. (Yes she reads to me like a child.) It is "On the Beach" and is about the end of the world from nucleur war, or whatever. It's an old book and maybe that war idea doesn't mean much anymore.

But it made me think.

So ignore me or play along. If you had one hour, and you knew it was the last hour you had on earth, how would you spend it? With who? Doing what? Would that hour be any more important than any other hour?

Make it an hour, a week, a year. Whatever.

I'd be in Texas with someone. How long or what we were doing really doesn't matter.

I would spent that last hour with my husband and daughters watching a Disney movie. Why? Above all things, I would not want them (my girls) to spend that last hour being afraid. I would do my best to shield them mentally from what was about to happen.

Great thought Kitten

And don't know that I'd change it, I'd certainly spend it with my wife and son. I suppose it would depend how it was the last hour exactly what we'd do...might be a movie, might be playing a game, or just telling each of them why I love them so much and that I'd be looking forward to seeing them in Heaven.

kitten eyes

I guess the reason my answer is not obvious to me is that I do not hve those daughters.

 

[Silverlily]

Kathy sweetie, next time my darling monsters trash my house, you can have them.

treasure

I would treasure them for a day, Kitten. Easy for me to say.

But risking to get too deep inside the depths of despair, if that hour where to come? Would I envy you the lives of your children, or would you envy me not having them?

It's what smart people call a rhetorical question (had to look up the spelling). It doesn't need an answer.

Kiss them goodnite for me.

_On The Beach_ is a very good book (written by Nevil Shute)and the movie with Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, and Fred Astaire is even better. If you have two hours before the world ends, you could do worse than to rent it (don't sweat the late fees).
