If I found out I only had 1 year left to live I am going to spend it with my family, friends, and reach out to the less fortunate. I would like to have fun memories with my family, especially with my children and husband. I will see to it that we will have fun time together for these memories can last a lifetime for them. I will tell them that I love them very much, share with them inspiring stories. We would go to a picnic which is their favorite fun time. I will teach them everything that I can from crafts to doing things around the house. And most of all I will teach them to be compassionate to others. I will bring them to my favorite orphanage so that they can spend time and play with the children there. I am sure they are going to enjoy this!

And when I am no longer around they will feel that they are loved by me and that they are special. I will also spend time with my friends and thank them for being there for me always. I want to let them know that they helped me shaped into a person that I am today. And like I always do, I will talk to God and thank him for the gift of life and for letting me feel His love through my family, friends and the people that I met along the way.

If I only had one year to live.... In reality I probalby wouldn't change much. My life is pretty good the way it is now. I would certainly be depressed because I don't want it to end.

I would probably travel for the majority of the year and see all the places I've dreamed of. Not sure how much fun I would have however knowing in the back of my mind that I am going to die.

I think it would be hard to enjoy anything knowing that your are going to die sooner than later. I would prepare a will. I would spend as much time as possible with family and friends.

I might rob a bank to fund my travels. I would definitely tear off that "do not remove" tag from my mattress. I would certainly quit my job and live off the money that I stole from the bank robbery. Of course I'm assuming that I wouldn't get caught. I would eat like crazy! Eat mass quantities of the things I've deprived myself of for so many years.

I would definitely take a trip to Auschwitz to pay my respects. It's something that I've always wanted to do even though I'm not Jewish.

I would see as many concerts as I could and bring my kids with me. I would want them to remember how cool their dad was before I go.

Kind of a depressing thing to think about, one year to live. I hope I never have to deal with such a scenario.

u got to remember that spending it with ur love ones is the best way to cheer ur self up from depression that u got 1yr to live if it was me i spend it with my friends because some friends care what happens to u. forget wats happening in the future and have fun in the present don't think about it, get it off ur mind by relaxing with ur family and wait til ur time comes so u can be ready to become an angel in heaven and have nothing to worry about thats how i would spend my whole year to live.
