    Very poetic... I think I would set my english class on fire. That would not make it so dull...

    I would spend every moment with my dog, decide what I want to do with my stuff and plan my funeral.

    I would fly down tot veneuesuala (????????) and then spend that time with my dogs and cats and make sure all my freinds go down there too so i can see them, oh and family of course.... as well as doing some bungee jumping and sky diving... the moment before I die, I'd like to be pushed out of a plane just so I ca fly for those moment before I die..... but then I'd go splat... (sorry)

    Hi everyone. Please say a prayer for my Grandpa. We just found out that he has about a month because of cancer in his bronchial tubes. I'll be playing harp for him because I know that's what he would like.

    When it rains it pours and I'm still trying to keep up with school!

    My condolences shia, it is always hard to lose a dear friend and relative.

    Go with God, and cherish the knowledge that your Grandfather would be proud of you, and your accomplishments.

    Shea,

    I hope your grandfather's final days among you would be the best and he leaves you with the fondest memories. While it is very hard to wait for a beloved one's departure, it is also a relief to be able to have time and opportunity to say good bye to them.

    May you find the strength to face the difficult days ahead of you.

    Warmest Regards

    Thank you for the thoughts guys. He acctually only lasted about 2 weeks and he was in ICU for so long that I didn't get to play for him. But I did play for the memorial service, and Grannie really liked that. It's hard to lose him, but it's also a relief not to have to worry so much about him.

    Sorry that I killed this thread (no pun intended).

    Actually, I think you brought it back on topic, so to speak. And I pass on my condolences.

    Don't worry about it, you couldn't know. It was a good thread idea. Personally, I would play my harp anywhere I wanted to for free wearing as many different costumes as I could. (My husband gets on to me about not charging enough, when all I really want to do is play for people.)
