to know that your death is close gives you a perspective that few ever know. what you do with the time left will define you in the eyes of those you leave behind. how will you live the last days of your life? in fear? or will you step out and live the life you should have lived all along?
I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I have been told that i have weeks left to live. they told me that if I have a bypass surgery that it may save my life. the problem is that the soonest I can get in to have the procedure is weeks away........ should I hide? should I deny? should I worry or fear that I may not make it to the date? no none of those things will do. if I make the date then I will live longer and have more time, but if I do not make it then I want my last days to be ones of joy. days of living and loving. I want to leave a legacy behind that will be cherished by those that I have made a connection with.
