Blog Hop: If I knew I had one week to live I would take my grandkids to Disneyland

Today's Blog Hop is fill-in-the-blanks.

I just found out I have one week to live. The first person I call is ___God, long distance___, and say __please don't take me yet, I have more to do here on Earth____.

Immediately after hanging up the phone, I leave the doctors office, and before heading home I go to __my daughter's house____ so I can ___see my grandchildren, for which I live__.

I gather my family at home that night and we  __tell each other how much we love each other___ then all of us together ___cry and pray___.

I book a three day trip to three different places because I've always wanted to __take my grandchildren to Disneyland__, ___to Wyoming to visit my son and his wife___ and ___head for home to spend time with my mom and brother___. On the way back from your trip you stop off at __my mother-in-laws house__ to __spend a little time with her__ because I've been meaning to for a long time.

For two more days I spend my time reading ___on my computer___, writing __preparing things_____, and _praying__. I make sure you ____bills and insurance are in order__, ___Henry knows where the wills are__ and __he knows my wishes about organ donations_.... three things I know I should have taken care of but have been putting off.

The final day is too personal to write about but I wonder to myself: why did I have to get a death notice before I finally did all those things this week?

The reason I'll probably keeping putting off all those things is ____I am disabled and can't drive or get around very well __ but ___I do talk to my mom and daughter everyday and I tell them I love them___.
