Who would you spend your last day on earth with? I said Who? Meaning only one person can be the answer.
At first I thought about my children but which one would I chose? Impossible.
Next I thought about my boyfriend of several years. I quickly decided I had already spent several years with him so he was off the list.
Then I pondered quietly. Who would I want to spend my last day on this earth with? The day I would die and move onto "something" they, whoever they is, call heaven. Actually I believe Heaven has many rooms and we will all go there, to heaven that is. Only difference is we will go to different rooms like in school. Some may need Kindergarten heaven. Others my get a good Harvard Heaven window. Some may get jail heaven idk..... Just depends on what energy you are carrying around.
So after a time of pondering the answer simply came to me quietly.
I would chose Dolly Parton to spend my last day on earth with. Yup. I wouldn't get sweet warm gentle kisses by choosing her like I would from my boyfriend. I wouldn't get arms wrapped around me securely warding off any and all fear of what room I might end up in... I wouldn't get my last chance to ever make physical love with my or any man. But I found that was okay because what I like best in life is laughter and singing. Who better to talk, sing, and laugh with on my last day of life.
Dolly is a sweet, smart, Godly woman. She makes the cleverest jokes but so do I. I suspect we would be going back and forth on that all day taking turns making one another laugh. And I would eat some wedding cake, drink a couple Scotch and Soda's and sing some duet's with her. Maybe even record them for my children. She is a loving person so I figure she would put her tiny arm around me and maybe even sing an impromptu song about livin' and dyin'. She would pray with me. Then we would both cry a few times in between the considerable amount of giggling and hearty laughing. I would listen to her stories of her life. She could tell me about anything considering I wouldn't be around to share it. She would take me for a ride in her convertible over the hills and we would glory at the trees, clouds, and the magnificent sun.
She would say in that sweet southern voice, "Awh honey, they are gonna just love you when you get to that next stop with Jesus. Why the table is already set up for you. And when my time comes I will be sure to find you no matter what room your assigned to!"
They day would be filled with words of faith, love, and laughter from her tiny person to my person.
Well I'm not sick and or dying that I know of. It just came to me today who I would want to spend that last day with.
I like my choice.
