    If you died tomorrow.......( Paper for school)..... your thoughts...

    so it's that time again I just wrote a paper and the subject matter is

    " If I died tomorrow" I would want to be remembered by blah blah things I would like to accomplish etc... morbid maybe,
    but it's something we all have in common I just wrote my paper and just wanted to brainstorm other ideas on the matter, do you think people take advantage of their lives? how do you view death? how do you cope with it? you get the idea.....

    here are my thoughts not the final draft but what I threw together in about ten minutes... I kind of feel like I repeated myself though so it will need editing for sure....






    Many people that work in the medical field for as long as I have become cold and immune to death. Death is a part of life we care not to envision or partake to much thought in, it can come unexpected or it can appear as a long awaited torture. Having worked with terminally ill patients for ten years this question always lies dormant in the back of my mind, If I should die tomorrow have I lived a prosperous life as I should have? I believe as a general rule that we live our lives on a daily basis verses what tomorrow may or may not bring. As I sit and hold the hands of those dying my own life always flashes before my eyes, in this final moment of a life that is fading away to no longer exist my own life is recreated. The thought of death leaves me untethered instead it allows perception of my dreams and my goals to be completed before the opportunity is left behind. If I should die tomorrow I feel that I have left behind a legacy of life. A life that has healed the sick, spoken kind words to a lost soul when they needed it the most, sheltered and nurtured a child by being his mother. I have loved another almost as much as life itself by being a partner, a friend, a sister and daughter. I have spread my wisdom to those who would listen my laughter to those who cared and my deepest of dreams with those who dared to strip them away. Life goes on even through our disappointments and trials. I believe that we lose focus on living out our abilities due to trials and tribulations while living on this earth. We are born to die. Time can become our worst enemy very easily and life becomes taken for granted. If I died tomorrow I would hope to be remembered as the girl that always tried her very best that life never got in the way of her dreams or her goals . The fear of death will not defeat her purpose to live life to the max on this earth. I've seen death come in many forms, I have met it face to face. I have felt the chill and the sting that it brings as I have held the sobbing widow within my arms. I have seen it's wrath and heard it's destruction as the mother cries over the death of her only son. Death is real to me in more ways than just one on a daily basis .yet it does not consume or define me, it teaches me discipline to live my life as if today might be the last opportunity that I have to create a memory, to change a life, to be the friend that is needed, to live to my full potential. This life that we take advantage of it is only ours temporarily, how long we have to enjoy it remains a mystery. I know not everyone could walk through the doors of where I work and hold up their heads or hold back their tears it takes great discipline to diminish my emotions, however, as I scrutinize over the concept of the dying process it amplifies my will to live my life to the ultimate level, to never take time on this earth for granted to value those around me more and more each day to appreciate all that I have been given on a daily basis. After losing my own grandfather I realized then just how much death can take away from us but it cannot destroy our memories, and the only way to create a memory is to live a life of bounty and blessings. These things death cannot destroy.

    I'd like to be known as the guy with wit,
    I'd like to be known as having true grit;
    To be the guy that lives to the fullest measure,
    Not just a guy that seeks this life's pleasure.
    When all is said and done in this life you see,
    I'd like to be known for just being me...

    If I died tomorrow, I would hope that nobody would find me for over a month. That way my corpse would be decaying, stinking and all bloated out with maggots. The stench would be absolutely horrible.

    Why you ask? People would remember me for years. Think about it. I'll bet all of you remember the dead body calls where you had to paint your nose with vicks vapo rub while you throw up in your mouth. You probably don't remember the calls where someone passed away and was found within the hour. I want to be the guy that is remembered by all.
