Living with the End in View

[wlotus]

What would you do, if you had one year left to live?

I would ask perfect strangers if I could take their pictures, because I love photographs of people. That is the only thing I can think of that I know I would do differently.

How about you?

The single mom described in the linked post is facing that reality. There is an auction being held to help with the costs of her medical care and to set up a trust for her son. If you would like to participate or donate, don't hesitate; do it.

I don't honestly know.


I've thought all morning about this woman in the back of my head, and I keep thinking that no matter what, even with the years warning, I'd not be able in a year to let everyone know that should know that I value and love them. I'd not be able to do the travel and see the sights that I want. I'd not be able, to my satisfaction, to assuage the immediate, clawing grief and desperate neediness of my family for every ounce of time they could get and still balance my friends.

I don't know.

I Just Don't Know.






How about you?

I'd try to get my book finished and as good as I could possibly make it. I know that's not noble or anything but it would be important to me to do it. I'd also like to spend some of the time in Switzerland. And of course be with family and friends.

I found out recently that a friend of a friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February and learned a week ago that she only has two weeks to live!! I don't know this person but I've thinking about her a lot and am fervently hoping for a miracle to happen.

These situations are unbearably sad.
