  1. Heidi TOTALLY stole the words out of my mouth! :lol:

    I’ll rephrase. ;-)

    I fiercely loved my husband and boys.
    I was a Mama’s girl to the end.
    My greatest hope was that I was enough.
    My greatest ambition was that I loved God wholeheartedly and worshiped Him passionately.
    My prayer was that my boys intimately know God and His love.

    That would pretty much sum up my entire lifes wish as well. So not only would I choose these as my last words, but they are also my lifelong goal. Good goals I think. ;-)

  2. in all seriousness, i hope my last words are “i love you”. that whomever i’m with in that last moment is someone i love and that i’m able to tell them that with my dying breath.

  3. My Dad fancies himself a poet. Usually they’re silly / funny. But when my Mom died he wanted to write a short little something for their shared tombstone. This is what he ended up with:

    Father, Mother, Husband, Wife, Friends since childhood, Lovers for life.

  4. How cool would it be if we could even come close to knowing, like Jesus, that our work on earth really had been done. So we could say, “It is finished.” To have no regrets and to know that God had worked through us in every way, every day. What an amazing conclusion to life that would be!
