I just thought this song was kind of fitting..

considering what I'm going through.

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spend most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking 'bout the options, and talking 'bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in, that this might be the real end
How's it hit ya, when you get that kind of news?
What did you do?

He said:

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said: "Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying."

He said: I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became the friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden, going fishin' wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well, I finally read the good book, and I took good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then

I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said: "Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying."

Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got an eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it?
What can I do with it?
What would I do with it?
