A week to live!!

The doctor told me, that I only have a week to live. Yep, one week. So much to do, so little time. Opted not to share this with you, I spent most of my time planning on what or what not to do....Damn!!

Thursday 14^th April 2011- my Lord, what a day that was. The day, this black-sugar (me), turned grey; I mean, turned grey for real. I was a living desert. Gasping for breath,short breaths, could not walk on my own two feet, muscle-pulls all over, up to my lips.DAMN!!  I simply lacked control over my entire body, and all I wanted to do, was to chop off-every bit of me that hurt. The pain was unbearable. I  thought my time was up-utamhaliss was no more-and started saying my last prayers.  Oh yes, I was in that state:so worn-out, so sick, that I had to be carried from my residence to the car, which led the surge to my admission in Equator Meridian Hospital. I am healthy now, thanks to God and the earthly-angels he graced my life with. To those who knew, I am greatly indebted to all, those who did not, I know you would have done the same. Therefore, I make this solemn vow, that your tears, woes, grief and bliss, have an eternal palace in the four chambers, men chose to call a heart: MY HEART!!Oh, and for those who saw me tear-up, my tears were not of pain but joy..as I have never felt so much affection avalanche me like on that day. I love you!!

Back to basics. That hour, that minute, that second when my sight went blurry, my body felt numb and my thoughts graced the paths of Heaven, I was tongue –tied, knowing not what to say to God. Now it has me lost in thought: why do people repent? Why? Why? Why? Now that I am on my way to full-fitness, I find it to be insulting to God, to those who believe, don't you think?  Would I be wrong, in saying that this actually affirms that we know when we are doing wrong? I know, man is to error, and I for one am good at it. But seriously, doesn't it mean so? At this final hour, shouldn't we be thanking God for the gift of life, love, laughter and many more. Doesn't it mean, we spend most our time doing that which eventually brings no good to self, thus the repentance! Would I be wrong to state, therefore, that we waste time on detrimental issues? Take rtime and ponder on it....

'A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World.  Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes: 1. Egypt's Great Pyramids 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peter's Basilica 7. China's Great Wall    While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet, so she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my

mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are: 1. to See 2. to Taste 3. to Touch

4. to Hear She hesitated a little, and then added; 5. to Feel 6. to Laugh  7. and to Love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. This is a gentle reminder that the most  precious things in life cannot be bought. God gave them to us. Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect, it just mean  you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.'

Okay..so one week to live..what would do? Would you mock the Supreme Being? Think about it? Once you have your answer, think about your life now, and what you are doing, then make drastic changes, in favour or not, of what you decided. I write to you because I know you are special, and do not want you to be a passer-by in life!!
