'I am not afraid of dying. I am afraid of not being able to live any longer" I don't know who said that. I often ask myself if others feel the same?

I felt that way even before my brother's death in January, but now I go outside in the morning, and look at the sunrise, drive down the 405, and look at all the beautiful building, the rolling hills, and then the Pacific Ocean, with the waves rolling in, and the surfers riding them'.

I look at my diving gear and the thrills that gave me. I learned to fly a private aircraft, and made several jumps when I was "20 something". I have enjoyed the companionship of many girls when I was a young person, and still have wonderful women friends and companions. I have been fortunate to be able to travel and see other parts of our planet.

A day will come, hopefully later than sooner, when I will never see those things again.

Do you enjoy 'life' and 'living, and all the wonders available for you to see and experience? During procedures to test for cancer, I always thank my Anesthesiologist for bringing me "back to life"...

You know that my boyfriend passed away but everyone keept telling me that he was still watching over me.
They told me things like get something of his and keep it near me. I took his bath towel that he used the day before he died and I folded it up and still have it next to me in my bed. It was his. He touched it and then died.
But then I read in the Bible in Ephesians Chapter 9 that the dead don't know about anything under the sun - which would be me right?
The Bible also says "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". He's not with me or anything about me. He's dead!! The Bible says when we die we will get a new heavenly body.
None of us have a choice because since we were young we all found out that we are going to die someday. That's kinda awful that we've known this since we were young.
I am old now and I know that my days are numbered. I have one foot in the grave 🪦 and the other foot kicking the dirt in.
I just cannot bare the thought of my son being in this planet without me because he will never be the same again.
The thing is that if you've done all of the things that the Bible says to do so you go to heaven but you chose not to do any of them then you cannot even look forward to going to heaven when you die because it's YOUR choice where you will end up.
And I can take dying better knowing that I chose to obey what the Bible says to do and I have done them so going to heaven is something that eases leaving this planet and spending time with Jesus Christ.
But if you didn't do what the Bible says to do you will end up in hell 🔥. It's your choice. So leaving all of the things you named you won't have pretty soon.
And your Anastasiologist won't be able to save you either.
