One Week, One Life - Day 5 – the last

It’s time to go. And I go alone.

There are quite a few here to see me off. A lot more than I would have ever guessed. I always imagined I would die with a nurse, and maybe one or two of my kids around. But almost the whole family is here.

Now, to the typical end of life questions:

Was it a good life? Yes it was.

Would you have changed anything? This is a much harder question. There are points in my life that I would have rather not gone through, but if I had been spared those times, would later times have been impacted? Who knows. So I’ll go with “No, I wouldn’t have changed anything.”

One hundred years… you have seen so much development in mankind. Development? Technologically, sure. Emotionally, I don’t know. I’m not one of those “things are getting so bad” kind of guys. I just don’t know if our emotional growth is keeping pace with our technological growth.

Any last words? If you know me, you know I have a few last words. But looking over my life, I think I have said all I can say.

And the interview was over. I allowed my entire body, mind, and soul to relax – relax back into my Maker’s arms.

One hell of a life --- yes it was.
