A family member casually asked me for my own opinion about this. For my own part, this question deserves some thought. I’m not in this situation myself. Still, any of us may have to face such an issue some time.

Spend time with my family and friends - find a way to take my DH and Son to Rome. Find a way to quit work and spend my last year in service to the Parish.

What makes any of us think we have even THAT much time? Now is all there is. And then…eternity.

It is nice to offer services to the parish, but one should not quit his job if it is not his will.
Sometimes, our duty which God has given us is the job you are having right now. I have heard from my friends at my parish how their actions at works had helped others know God.

You can make the time a bit shorter? how about we have one day to live?

I’d go to the travel agents and book a 20 year vacation, and a return ticket.

Of course, your are right–we might not have enough as a year left. However, I wonder how people here would like to rearrange their lives, if at all, if they have enough time to make a meaningful rearrangement or commitment when it comes to anything or everything in their lives.

Let my kids stay home from school - travel all over the country in a big RV together - just enjoy every second of every minute. I try to do that anyhow - but life sometimes gets in the way.

I go in and get test done every six months to see if my cancer has come back. I live from test to test. It used to be monthly, so now I can even forget about it occasionally. I went through a party and spend my money stage. I went through a work myself to death so I can leave my family in better shape stage. Now I’m trying to live as sinless as I can and leave my family with a religous structure to build their faith on. Sometimes , I what to leave everything and go to a monastery, live out my life in seclusion. But I know there would be trials there as well. Tim

not worry about my diet and eat as much chocolate chip ice cream as I wanted, at midnight, in the rain…with a big old smile on my face. I would tell every member of my family and all my friends I loved them every single day. I would go to Mass and receive the Eucharist every day I could and most of all I would watch all those movies I never had time to go to…one day at a time.

I would look up some old friends to say good bye and talk about old times. I would spend more time with my father and mother. I would go back East and visit my uncles and aunts.
Towards the end I would find a way to sacrafice my life to save others such as running into a burning house to rescue people.

When it comes to family and friends, I guess I would want people to know that I loved them other than just saying the words. And if they didn’t think that, I would want to know what I could do to make them feel that way and have a chat.
I would go fishing with my children and maybe take them to Sea World one last time.
I would try to fix any project in the home I left unfinished for my wife.
I would quit my job and just start writing letters.
I would want to dress up like the Major League Baseball chicken and sing the national anthem at a ball game to say that I did it and so that no one would know that I did it! That would probably be the only thing I would do totally for myself.

I’d probably do about what I’m doing now: See what I can give
away, arrange for people I know that could meet each other so
they won’t miss me as much when I’m gone. Find someone to
make my dad a pineapple upside down cake for his birthday.
Visit friends, especially the elderly ones in nursing homes or who live alone. See who I can get to do my “important work”. I’m moving across the country pretty soon.

Interesting question, but that showes us how brief life can be!
I would do missionary work, that’s for sure!! I want to do that, but I am still waiting God’s time in that issue.
I would try to spend more time with my family, and if I can, travel a little more
God bless you all!!

My brother was given a year, maybe two to live. Then suddenly there was a medical complication and they changed it to hours to days.
He had a priest called in and received the sacraments of confession and anointing of the sick. He talked to all his family and asked forgiveness for anything he had done and told them all he loved them. He made a will and made plans for his funeral and where he should be buried. My mother gave him the Eucharist the day he died. He was very much at peace.
