You know, when I read this thread yesterday morning I was going to reply but couldn't really think about what I would do... Randomly throughout yesterday and today the same subject has popped back in my mind. I get this feeling that me constantly thinking about it may have something to do with me joining the military, and knowing that any day could be my last.
The first thing I would do is get my family together for dinner that night (all of mine that I know live within 100 miles). But before that, I would call and possibly go meet with my close friends and even some that I have lost contact with in the past few years. I would let them all know that was going on and that I appreciate everything they have done for me and putting up with me at times when I was difficult. I'd let them know that I cherished every moment we had. After this, I'd let the people I consider mentors know what was going on and how much I appreciated their guidance and everything they have taught me and for keeping my life going in a positive direction. When I meet with my family I'd tell them all how much I love them and hope that they will continue to cherish every moment they have together (hopefully this will get a few relatives to realize how important family is). I'd ask them not to mourn my death, but to celebrate my life (cliche, huh?), because no matter how hard they pray and mourn they won't be able to change anything. Cherish the time we had together and remember me for all the good things I have done, and even the bad, because we all are human and make mistakes.
Praying for forgiveness isn't on my list because I chose the direction my life went and while some things may not be completely moral or right, I made those decisions myself and lived through the consequences.
