What will be your last thoughts?

No worries. I found this passage in the lesser known "Epistle according to Gouda": ...... "and now these three remain: faith, hope, and love .... but the greatest of these is a well-aged Gouda".
It was in the Revised, Revised, Standard Version. It was easy to miss.

Phew! that's great news. :)
 
Assuming that I have some degree of consciousness left, I expect (hope) that I will be thinking about my daughters and grandchildren. And then as a I slip into oblivion, vivid thoughts of my wife (and perhaps my parents) will come into play as I meet her on the other side, if there is another side of course.

You know how sometimes a strange thought pops into your head out of nowhere? Yesterday, I was thinking about my Mom who died four years ago at age 97. She loved this place and all her stuff. I think she loved it more than anything or anyone. When we cleared it out, the dumpster was filled twice and that didn't include furniture.

One thought led to another and I wonder...when she was close to death, was she thinking about her stuff? Her beloved fish trap which was used once? All of those dishes from "antique" stores, packed away in boxes and never used? Clothes that were decades old and literally falling apart? Broken furniture, all kinds of junk from garage sales?

She lived a mostly good life. A good husband, seven children, and a great career in her last 20 years of work. A pillar of the community, to which she contributed much. The last week of her life, she was alert and aware and knew the end was at hand. Was she thinking of all her precious stuff, which ended up in the land fill?

I wonder what my last thoughts will be?

This is a very thoughtful and good post. I wonder what was going through mother's mind when she knew she wasn't coming home.

I feel like i might regret all the time and energy I put into people and trying to be kind. I often feel like it's been a waste of time.

I always wonder how things would've been if my life had turned out differently. But mostly my thoughts will be of God and going to heaven where I will always be surrounded by love.

I'm sure it's not very realistic, but I always thought giving my life to save someone else's would be the ultimate way to die. Your last thoughts would be about someone else, not yourself.

Love that! I either wanna die like that or in my sleep. Either with a bang or a sigh.
