Lately, for some reason, the line “Teach us to number our days” had been constantly on my mind.  Some rather morbid thoughts cross my mind.  Yet, I know I have to face reality.  To number our days is something we should all do.  Living each day as if it’s the last. Not wasting time on things that are fleeting.  Everything here are but temporary except for the things we do for others, we do with others.  Except things we say to others, we give others and we think about others.  I wonder what kind of thoughts and emotions I will leave behind if today is my last day on earth.  I wonder how it will affect the lives of the people I will leave behind.  I hope they are dependent enough to feel that I am gone and independent enough to stand on their own.  I hope I loved them enough to remember me but strong enough to move on.  I hope that I have shared enough of myself to keep me alive.  I hope to be remembered.  I hope that I lived my life making them smile so that when I leave, I will take with me some tears.  Tears of joy for having met me. Tears of sorrow for losing me.  I know, I still have a lot to do, to accomplish but when I die tonight I will leave my heart to those I love and that will keep me alive.
