If you had one last wish what would it be?
This story is particularly close to my heart as I watch my Grandmother slowly fade out of this world. I can imagine she has a great many wishes, least of which would be to regain her mobility, her voice, her strength. One wish she's been able to witness come true has been her family coming together like it hasn't for a great many years. Her family become tight-nit again, even if just for this all-too-brief-moment, to honor her and show how much love they have for her.
For me I begin to ask myself what kind of emotions would I have at the end of my life should it slip from me gradually?
I've found that if we pay enough attention we'll see stories, events, ideas almost seek us out depending on what is going on in our lives. The story of an 86-year-old gentleman nearing the end of his life surfaced for me today. His last wish apparently was to give his three ponies one last hug.
I'm using this time to remember to say thank you to those people around me who mean a lot. My wish is that I had more time to tell my Grandmother how important she was to me but I still sit with her and tell her how much she is loved. Maybe she'll hear a few of those words before she decides to let go of this life.
