A Great Opportunity To Say A Proper Goodbye

avatar

We humans love to act like we have a lot of time. Most especially when we are younger. We neglect things a lot and procrastinate. Perhaps if we think about our time of death a lot more often, we might prioritize our activities and focus on things that truly matter.

Another thing is, I think the mystery behind our time of death is a great blessing to us. Knowing exactly when we will die is likely to make us very anxious and worry sick.

However, if I get to know I have just 24 hours left to live, which I love to think that not now, I am hopeful that I will grow old with great grandchildren. Hehhe here are the things I will love to do before my contain close.

Finding out immediately won't be pleasant but I will think of the kind of impression I want to leave behind In that last moment. For that, instead of feeling sorry or moody I will see it as a great opportunity to make my peace, set all my affairs in order before I leave. And create a last great memory with loved ones.

24 hours is a very short period of time, and I know it will even feel shorter when I'm on the clock, so I will be very smart about the things I choose to do with it.

Put my finance in order

An important area I won't just leave to chance is to make sure my will is up to date. Put everything in order just the way I want it to be. Detailing who will get what.

Family And Friends...

Family and friends and hive community is like everything to me. And I will love to say a proper goodbye to them with a great memory of me in their heart that can last them as long as they live.

What I will tell hive community

The thought of leaving my hive family behind might want to weigh me down but I will try not to give in. I will be strong and summon the courage to create a farewell post and schedule it to publish twenty-four hours after I'm gone.

I think this will be a great opportunity for me to say my goodbye. Because hubby might probably be too depressed due to my departure and may not be able to create such a post. Or takes him a long time before he could do that. So in that twenty four hours. I will create a goodbye last post. Telling my friends and favorite authors on hive for the last time that I have gone home. And encourage them to carry on with what they are doing on hive. This way, memories of me will last longer in their heart.

Just A few among many authors I will love to mention in such a post are

I will tell @nkemakonam89, that as a mother she inspires me a lot in my motherhood journey. I'm always proud of her strength, courage and love for her family. May God continue to crown herd effort.

I will tag @princessbusayo and remind her that she is a strong and courageous lady. I will miss watching her Afritune videos and reading most of her work. Continue to be you and I wish you all the best in all that you do.

I will remind @merit.ahama that I first noticed her positive vibe and winning spirit during #pob art contest. In those days, I have always admired her work ever since. Continue to do what you know how to do best, I.e writing and contributing to the blockchain and I wish you all the very best In all your goals.

I will tell @ifarmgirl that sometimes I wonder what she looks like in real life. She is one of the most amazing people I have met so far on my hive journey. I will miss her garden post, and I pray that her gardens always bring forth a bountiful harvest.

I will tell @ibbtammy though it hasn't been long we cross part on the chain but I could tell from day one that she has a pure soul and a big heart. Continue to be you and do not miss me visiting your posts that much.

I will tell @beckla that I love her ❤ very much, and thought that hive learning curve might be a bit challenging, I will encourage her to keep pushing. It will get better and funnier. Just try to enjoy your journey and have fun.

To My Family And Friends

I will inform my family members and my very close friends, and invite them to a feast in my home. During this time, I will prepare my favorite meals and some of our family favorite meals, the kinds of meals I can get and prepare in a very short notice as I wouldn't want to waste the whole of the day Cooking. With my friends' help, we should get this done just In time.

During the feast, we will share jokes and laughter, revisit the past sweet memories together. I will tell each and everyone how special they are to me and how much I love them. I will put on my best dress and the brightest smile I could make. As I only want that last moment to be such a sweet memory in their heart when I'm gone.

I will tell hubby that, no matter what happens in the future, I will always love him and our son from the depth of my heart. I will make sure they promise me to always be happy.

I will give them both the biggest hug 🤗 you can possibly imagine, and kisses💋.

I will write a letter to my son, to be hidden where it can easily be found when I'm gone. Telling him how much mummy loves him. To always believe in himself, be kind to himself and to others. Dream big and never let anything get in his way of achieving them.

I will not let them know that this is my last day, it will definitely ruin all my plans. I will not want them to feel sorry for me or be sad. I want them to be able to smile, Merry, and be happy for the last time for me to witness.

Into the last hour of the twenty-four hours, I will make my bed the best way I could. Put on my best nightie, say my last prayer while I lay happily on my bed for the very last time. ✌️

Why is this both a happy and sad read to me? 🥺
I felt all the emotions reading this.

Indeed, we will all die one day but we keep praying to die fulfilled on earth and your last hours activities seem to be the most fulfilling.

I'm taking your last words to me to heart even though you're very much alive and well 🤗 thanks so much sis.

Haha, I felt so emotional writing it myself, in fact, I avoided the topic initially but then I said why not? Hahaha

I think is okay to talk about death once in a while, if we do, we might not be so afraid of it.
Besides it is the only thing so sure for all of us.

And don't worry, I'm still here by God grcae, still reading and following your beautiful hive journey whenever I can.

I intentional avoided writing on this topic because reflecting on my 24 hours to only live here will be too emotional. However, you succeeded in bringing tears to my heart through this heart felt post. I must say, these words here are quite thoughtful...it you get to know that you will die which all of us will die one day, doing all of this will make you fulfilled. Then doing all this by surprise is the best idea if not your family and friends will decorate your day with tears .lol. wow, and the mention, thanks for your encouraging words. They made my Day
@funshee you are a great writer ✍️
Keep it up my dear ❤️😍

It is nice that you will be strong enough to have a feast with family and friends. I like that you will also create a Hive post. I think you are a strong lady. I hope and pray that none of us will ever get this news it is too emotional and scary.
