If I Had Ten Days to Prepare for My Final Day on Earth, What Would I Do? 

Cara awoke early, in a room frigid with cold air, enough to see her breath wafting across her face. A note fluttered through the air and landed on her chest. “You have ten days left! Make the most of them…!” 

After screaming, crying, and finding no explanation she took the warning to heart. "What to do first?"

She dressed, grabbed her keys, and flew out the door. The mall hadn’t opened, but Cara paced outside the front door until it did. For the next eight hours she shopped and shopped, picking out the perfect, memorable gift for each person on her Christmas list. She raced home, scoured the attic for the leftover Christmas paper, and wrapped them for next year’s Christmas. Cara stacked every package in among the Christmas decorations, finishing in time to meet her husband at the front door as he came in from work.

The next morning, she woke early, pulled out her video camera, and prepared videos for her children and grandchildren to enjoy on their birthdays. She wished them, ‘Happy Day’, for each year and gave them insight to her life at their ages.

Eight days from the end Cara designated her special treasures to each person she wished to have a remembrance of her.

On days six and seven, she and her husband climbed in the car and rode to their special place, spending two intimate days together.

With five days left. she again was up with the birds, doing the laundry, cleaning, and ironing. She joined her friends for a long lunch where she laughed and cried for most of the afternoon.

Four days out… She spent it cherishing time with her children doing the normal mother/daughter errands, lunch, and gossip they enjoyed throughout their lives.

Three days from the end, The grandchildren spent the day with Cara at the movies. After, they played games, read stories and loved each other.

Two more days… Cara made peace with God.                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                           

The day before… Cara gathered the people she loved the most, together. They sat by the pool in the bright sunshine while the grandkids swam. They laughed and talked, of the days gone by and the new ones to come. Ending the evening with pizza and lots of hugs.

This day she met her mother and grandmother, again!

Cara rubbed her eyes, yawned and stretched. “Man what a nightmare!” she murmured. “Who wants to plan the final ten days of their life? Maybe that was a warning to live life, enjoy family, friends, and to be thankful to God,” she said out loud. “And whoever is listening, I get the message.”
