I really don’t understand many people’s desire to travel and see things, especially in the last days of their life. I mean come on, when you are dead you can get anywhere in split seconds, so why waste your earth life packing, riding on airplanes, having jetlag, etc.

I actually knew a man who had just a month or so to live (he had cancer). And he told me how people always imagine themselves traveling in the last days of their life. But he said that once you know that you life really is over, all you care about is spending times with your wife and kids. He spent most of his last days going on walks and talking and holding his wife’s hand. He knew those are the things he could not do up in the spirit world for some time and those are the things he would miss the most.

I’m sure talking, walking , hugging, kissing, and telling my husband and kids how much I love them is all I would do. I would not wast time at airports, or looking at bulidings. Maybe when everyone was asleep I’d write more of my life story for my kids to have. I’d also ask my husband and kids, mom, sibling, how they would like to spend the last few moments with me………….

I noticed that too Marcy. In fact, my idea of heaven is sitting at a huge table eating and drinking all of my favorite things fo all eternity, without ever getting full. I’m not worried about getting fat, I can’t seem to gain any weight, it’s a medical issue. For me its a money issue and being able to eat without getting full.

thanks for the typo help, Marcy; i am often with the typo-ing, but i was esp. tired last night while writing this. and, actually, that wasn’t a typo, but a (gasp) mistake. i looked at it last night and thought that something was wrong with the word, but i couldn’t figure out what it was, and in the end, i just went to bed.

on the food — i certainly don’t want to be one of those people obsessed with food and weight, but it might be too late for that.

That is so funny that Shannon, Adrianne, Marie and I so far have commented about food! It’s like in that updated version of Freaky Friday. When the mom is in her daughter’s body she eats all the French fries she wants.

typo: I am not unselfishness enough

I did not think at all about securing my children’s future. I guess I was hoping that they (and hubby) were all going to die with me! I can reasonably say that my husband should remarry if I die so as not to be lonely here on earth, as well as give a good mother to our children. What I can’t reconcile is what exactly would happen in the hereafter if that happens. A mystery to understand later, I suppose.
