If you had the choice, which you obviously don’t have, how would you want to die?
My wife, like most people, would probably say, “In my sleep.”
I recently sat with a friend with Stage 4 cancer. A second opinion confirmed that medically there was no chance of cure. The news from a medical expert is shocking. Yes, it’s a fact that you are going to die. Not knowing how to comfort my friend, I asked him what is worse, knowing you are dying or not knowing? On the way to work, someone skips a red light and your life ends. We both pondered and our conclusion, hard as it seems was, knowing is probably better.
Time to say I love you, I appreciate you. Please forgive me. Time to still make a few memories.
Truth be told, it is not only terminally ill people that face death. It is not predominately the elderly. Life is fragile and all of us only have today.
For this reason, we should all act as if we are dying. Prepare for it and then live the life God has granted us, one day at a time.
PS. Even doctors can be wrong.
