What is the one thing you want to do, before you die?

[myspirit]

I want to skydive so bad!!

[LorLee14]

I would love to best friends with my daughter or at least really close. She's 15 and at that age a lot of teenagers know it all and tend to be a bit mouthy, speaking their minds when it would be best not to and of course I am a little strict. So when you combine all that we have our bad days on ocassion. Oh yeah and of course I don't know anything(LOL).

[Adra]

I want to set a spiritual example for my children and grandchilden. I heard that when you die all that you are is the memories you leave behind. I want to leave happy and loving memories for all of my loved ones.

I don't think that is the response you were asking about but that is really the one thing that is super important to me.

( my dad died Dec. 6th, and all I could think about was how drunk he could get, how hateful he was, how he would beat us with sticks and belt buckles, how he did not care about us at all, and those are the memories he left behind)

Go to Ireland

[PrincessArky]

I want to raise my kids first........I just feel so sorry for the kids that lose their parents before they grow up

[diana_circe]

See the pyramids and Mayan ruins.

[DBackFan]

I want to look up some distant relatives in The Netherlands and more importantly I want to bring my Father back there before HE dies.

[Pepsi4me]

I want to live long enough to see my daughters grown up & have spent lots of time with my husband.

My parents died very young & I'm scared I will also.

[tough guy]

I would like to go to Ireland, Spain, and Italy

Excellent answer !



I have done everything I've ever wanted to do, and seen everything I've wanted to see... for real ! I've lived a VERY full life !

I guess I want a better relationship with my maker before I die.

I want to construct a grace house. It would be operated by volunteers, and funded by private donations from churches, organizations and individuals who shared the burden to do something worthwhile in this area. It would be a place that former drug addicts could come to get clean and stay clean and start to rebuild their life without drugs. There would be no cost to the person for them to stay until they were back on their feet and have a job (which we'd help them with job placement), but in exchange they could help keep up the property they live on and maybe provide community service work--such as doing yard work for elderly people who couldn't do it for themselves, etc.

Those were my mom's dreams, but she never made it .. she also wanted to go to Italy.

I personally don't know what I want to do.

[Explorer 4x4'r]

To fly somewhere (anywhere) in an airplane.

I'm deathly afraid to fly

[tarbabie]

Iwas lucky enough to travel to Scotland and Ireland when I was 17- I want to take my husband there so he can see how beautiful it is!

And I want to take a cruise!

[tuggerbug]

I'd love to go on an Alaskan cruise. But, mostly I would like to fulfill my dream of having a home for wayward animals. Not one for specific breed or anything, just a nice safe place for all of God's creatures wether they have wings, fur, feathers or scales, whatever.

The movie Bucket Brigade with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman is about this. It a great movie.

I just want to be at peace. With all my relationships, career, everything. This post reminds me of an email I got from a friend with a story.

3900 Saturdays - This is so true !!!! read on ...

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the
quiet
solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the
unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few
hours
of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.

A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup
of
coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a
typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life
seems
to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it:

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio
in
order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came
across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden
voice.
You know the kind; he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting
business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about
"a
thousand marbles." I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had
to
say.

"Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure
they
pay you well, but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your
family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work
sixty
or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It's too bad you missed
your
daughter's "dance recital" he continued. "Let me tell you some thing
that
has helped me keep my own priorities." And that's when he began to
explain
his theory of a "thousand marbles."

"You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average
person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some
live
less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.

"Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is
the
number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire
lifetime.
Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part.

It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in
any
detail", he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over
twenty-eight hundred Saturdays." "I got to thinking that if I lived to
be
seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I
went
to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up
having
to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles. I took them home
and
put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the
shack
next to my gear."

"Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it
away.
I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the
really
important things in life.

There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to
help
get your priorities straight."

"Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take
my
lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last
marble
out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday
then I
have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use
is a
little more time."

"It was nice to meet you, Tom. I hope you spend more time with your
family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. This is a 75
Year
old Man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!"

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed
off. I
guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the
antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams
to
work on the next club newsletter.

Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey,
I'm
taking you and the kids to breakfast." "What brought this on?" she
asked
with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we
spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy
store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles.

[flute]

[YankeeMary]

I have been sky diving. GREAT experience.

Of course I want to go to Ireland. Raise both my boys and Gracie to be happy, healthy. God loving adults.

[Unicornmom77]

I cannot pick just one thing, but one of the best things I want to do before I go to meet my maker is

See my kids become happy.

Some of the other ones are, own a home, make differences in (more)peoples lives, make my husband happy, be a great missionary, travel because we want to not because we have to, become healthy, and stay healthy... lots more but thats a good part of em...
