My neices and nephews, my family, my dear friends...saying all the things that we get too busy in the daily hustle and bustle to say. Telling them the things that truly matter to me, why they are so special and what they truly mean to me, thanking them for being on this journey with me. ...and why do any of us wait until posed this question, to truly think about this and actually act on it...?? "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks comes to mind...

With my dying breath, I'd like to seal the fate of my enemies. Nothing inspirational here, I'm an evil bastard.

Sometimes it takes people time to get over the bitterness of losing someone.

Sometimes it takes people time to get over the bitterness of losing someone. losing someone is not always the longterm thing most expect it to be, sometimes it helps you to grow and appreciate life, the way it was ment to be, share, create, love, give all, apolize only with the heart

I would want all of my family and friends close by so that I could tell them how much I cherish them and what having them in my life has meant and to enjoy life to the fullest each day. Love with all your heart and soul

I am so lucky he went to a much better palce and i got 8 years more than the doctors thought.... But in watching the children deal with grief, there was so much more they needed to hear than was said by him. now i take the time to do day trip with them or the spur of the moment.. lunch when the house needed cleaned.and most of all to listen not only with my head but with my heart..

I have actually hand written a letter to my daughter for when she gets older. Explaining everything to the most extreme truth. She is too young to understand now, but if something were to happen to me tommorow she will get this letter at an older age, knowing how much I love her and my true inner feelings

My children and grandchildren, I would say that I loved and believed in them no matter what, to never be afraid to dream, to love like they had never been hurt,to laugh often and long.. to make the time to dance in the summer rain,walk in fresh snow, to make memories, they last forever, and that when ever they needed me in the future I'm already there.To morn a short time, then let me go. To remember that you can't always see the stars but thier always there. If I could hold back the tears this is very similar to what I would want to say to my children.
