If you knew your next post was going to be your last post, before your death, what would you write about and why?

Hrm, I don't suppose I could postpone making the post until I was ready to be dead? Perhaps take some time to think about it? It'd mean the end of my on-line career, such as it is, but it sure would reduce the amount of time I spend here!
If there is a gun to my head and all I can manage is a singe post before certain death, it would be of the "thank you and goodbye" variety, I suppose. It would also be way, way longer than my usual posts. I'm assuming that I couldn't post, "Help!" to the Justice League forum and have several manly men in tights save me. -
it would be a personal message to all my friends and loved ones. -
I'm really trying to think of something "nice", but I can't help it. I can't shake the thought that I would make it personal. You know, like really telling certain people off, and about damage done. Hmm. I may actually do it too, if I can still type when I'm 110. -
If I know the exact time of my death, it would be a message of love to my family and friends. About how grateful I am to become part of their lives. I would ask all of them not to cry though. -
To wile away
The wild away,
And drift astray
Of darkened day;
Where faeries play
And brave knights slay,
By ocean’s bay
I long to stay.
But ‘tis not meant
For hours spent
On mindless bent
Of shadows rent;
For day’s descent,
As came and went,
Did leave its dent
Without consent.
And so must dwell --
In silent yell
While words dispel --
A heartless shell;
Speak “all is well”
These thoughts to quell,
As time’s cold bell
Rings out death’s knell.

It would be, "Enjoy your lives and be happy. I love you all."-
Yes, I would post the same.

Damn. Now, ya'll are making me feel guilty..

I know that the ultimate threshold of death is usually just for the one passing under it. But I would wish for my family to be close and that hugs, glances, touches, kisses and words of love be exchanged. I would tell the world and her occupants to be kind to one another and I would hope that I will be worthy to share paradise with my Lord and my loved ones who have passed before me. -
It would be a "Top 10 things I have learned" and "Top 10 things I wish I would have learned" sort of thing...dedicated to my children and with best wishes to all. -
I hope nobody ever reads my blog and tries to imagine some secret dying wish or message in my last post while I am alive. That's sick.
Leave that to the losers and let the police find these losers before someone else gets hurt~! -
I would remind my daughters that I survive within them.
I would ask them to preserve certain traditions and to teach those traditions to there own children.
I would tell them to always remember our virtues and that integrity is first.
Family is always first - to look out for each other
That we must always strive to do better in life for future generations. -
I'm sure mine would have to include a farewell to Jesus and how I will miss his taco truck and the extra jalepenos he always knew to give me.
Also, I would definitely throw in a picture of the Big Guy talking to me saying something like "Hey, Chelle B., I'm your biggest fan, come offend me up here!".
Of course, I'd have to add a few unflattering pictures of people who have offended me in this life. They'd have thought bubbles over their heads saying offensive things about me like "I never liked her but I hope she leaves me all of her money!!", and "I wonder if her husband finally killed her?!".
Hey, I better get this put together because one never really knows when their time is up, huh?
I shall name it The "RIP, Chelle B." Offensive!!-
Jesus has a taco truck? Where have I been. Does he come around on Fridays because that's when I like to go to Taco Bell?

I would have to say that it wouldn't be online, it would be a post on paper to my whole family, then my family updating my blog with my obituary if they deem it necessary. That's the thing with the online world, one could die, and noone would know it, they would just assume they didn't want to blog anymore if they didn't know any better. -
You could freak people out and schedule some posts to execute after your death.

did you read about the dude recently who got a friend to send one last christmas card ... something like 6 months after his death? said something like, hey, i'll see you soon, this place is cool ... was hysterical.
ahh ... here's the link:

{EDIT}A man from the US state of Oregon has stunned friends and relatives by sending them Christmas cards, two months after his own death.
The 34 handwritten cards were sent and signed by Chet Fitch, who died in October aged 88, with "Heaven" given as the return address.

I would not waste my time blogging.....then again what would I do in its place?-
I agree. I'd skip the computer & DO something; take a moonlight hike, cuddle with my husband, go to the local alligator ranch, eat a big bowl of chocolate ice cream. Anything but sitting at the computer!

If we all practiced a primative eye-for-an-eye and tooth-for-a-tooth retribution, we would all be eyeless and toothless.
I don't want to empty out my mind like disgorging the contents of an auctioneer's warehouse. And, as I don't want to weigh my family down with images of a dead man walking the attic, or a skeleton behind closet doors, I would probably shovel platitudes and ooze kindness like melted butter through a stem-winding sermon extolling their virtues. -
Mine would be to tell all of the people in my life who mean the most to me how very much I love them. -
Hmmmm..... Goodbye and thanks for the fish! -
Mine would be a personal letter to God requesting him to postpone the event.
And may sit down to write the next 10-15 posts! -
I think I'd post the vid for the song, "Happy Trails To You" and then I'd shut the computer off for the last time and spend time with my family. -
it would hopefully have something to do with reporting on the making of the sports illustrated swimsuit issue from some remote island. problem is the alarm clock then goes off and the dang dream is over!
-
I would write the truth about everything I thought and felt about my life and everyone around me -
It would be my Love letter to all those who I loved, more clearly I thought if she would have been mine i.e. married from my childhood to the date filled with my feelings and what I had thought about them etc. -
Good stuff here. Reallly some fine sentiments.
-
I thank every one who were with me thru thick and thin.I would pass on all the useful things that I have learned to the blogging community. -
In flat, I can write now.
Life is just like a dream, take it easy. I go first, bye bye.
That's it. -
I think you need to repost this as it's a fantastic question and I'll be having my two month update for my Ovarian cancer (blood test) exam on Tuesday and I'm always a wreck until I hear the words everything is alright. I love life it's why I started our blog sharing my 62 years of insight on my life my last post would be a daily journal for as long as I had describing what life was, the memories of value, the people I loved and currently love, wishing them many more years maybe 100. Embracing my time sharing as much as I could before my final journey and hoping what I lived might give them hope and freedom and the knowledge to treasure every day as I have. No matter what my life was, God gave me the ability to realize the treasure I was given all the blessings I felt and lived and I'd want to pass that important message on encourage others to empower themselves for whatever life would send them along with the strength to endure. So there I said it and I wish everyone my open minded wisdom to life; there are no u-hauls so live it up everything stays when you go and those left have only the memories you gave them.

Sometimes even in happiness a cranky grandma -
a thank you to the people who've belssed my life and a quick comment to each about how lucky I am/was to love each of them and why. -
A blank page. I think that would say it all. -
fried chicken...I love fried chicken -
a goodbye and thank you message to all my loved ones..and a quote from into the wild...in the epilogue

now put it in tow words -
I don't know that I'd have the time to write a last post...
But, let's just say -- -if it was a post --- the last post, and I knew it...
I would write:
To all my friends and to the whole world:
Thank you for being you. Each and every one of you have shaped my life in some way and I am thankful that you exist.
I hope that every single one of you takes a few moments to reflect on life and decide to live your life to the fullest. Forget misery, forget problems, forget moments that are awful...
Instead, focus on being happy and enjoying your life. Smile once every single day and make it a real smile - if you can smile more, please do so.
Laughter, honest laughter - is more important than you will ever know.
Honest love is more important than you will ever know.
Honest TRUTH - is more important than you'll ever know.
Take a moment to share love, truth and laughter with others, at least once a day.
Give what you can to others and pass it on if you can.
Remember that no matter what you do, you WILL have a profound effect on some else's life.
You will, through your words, actions, thoughts or written development - affect someone else deeply - without you even knowing it.
So remember this when you make contact with others... Give them the effect of honesty, laughter and helpfulness.
Remember you are loved, no matter who you are - and that your effect and affect on me, was important to me, no matter how small your interaction was with me.
May you remember me laughing.
May you remember me.
