A good job we do not know when we are about to depart from this World, and for them that do it must be agonizing I should think.I think I would look at every blade of grass and everything around me in a different light in case I do not see them again.as I get older I think of my family left, we are a close knit family and I know if one of us went we would all suffer drastically,it has to come one day and I would rather not know when. and just enjoy life while we are all here together.but it does provoke some thought,hugs from Willow

I barely sleep now, I cant imagine knowing that cuz then I'd never sleep. ( I might not sleep tonight just thinking about that...now that you put it in my head...LOL)
anyways, a thought provoking write. i like it. Nice going!!!

if given six months to live to marry a jewish girl and move to the foot hills of Montana. I asked why would I do that? In reply the answer was " Those six months will seem like an eternity" :)

something I've pondered over at length.

The only lining on this type of cloud for me, would be knowing that I would most probably be going, before all of my loved ones around me.

I just couldn't bare to be without my children especially.

Thank you dear poet, you knocked a few cobwebs off my heart with this one.

Happy Living,

Freedom of expression is our write.

A thought provoking write Andrew, and terribly sad news aswell. I guess if it were me i'd try to make amends with anyone I'd upset in the past and find a sense of peace. I'd also make every second count...every minitue of every day productive and worthwhile and surround myself with those I love.
