I like the idea of getting my affairs in order and telling my family and friends how much I love them (regularly) and then relaxing and enjoying life not knowing when my time is up.

Please disregard the death notice we sent you 6 months ago. Due to a computer error we sent the notice to you by mistake. Sorry for the inconvinence. God.

I was advised to get my affairs in order in 2007 before undergoing life saving surgery.
I considered myself fortunate to be given this "extra" time. A chance to sort through possessions, spend time with my children, a last ride of my horse, a last pat of the cat, a last night spent at the scope.
How many people get this opportunity?
Sure, it was a sad time, overwhelmingly sad at times. But I found joy in the smallest things and honestly, I was at peace with my situation.

The support I received from the members of IIS and CSN (cancer survivors network) was phenomenal. You guys really helped me through that difficult time. Thanks again.

I did one of those "enter your diet, family history, exercise etc" things on the net a couple of years ago and it came up with 83...so I have a good 30 odd years left. My wife came up with a few years less, so it looks like we are going out together!

Of course, you could get hit by a truck on the way home tonight...bummer, would you get a credit for the next time around?

And yet others who have known it, confronted it, have come through it and move forward with their lives and still achieve a state of blissfulness ?

Acquisition of knowledge doesn't necessarily detract from our ability to go on milking life for all its worth.
