What if?

I had a really bad dream yesterday. In fact, it was truly frightening and sad. I always thought that dying was just another process in life. I thought I could be brave in the presence of death. Death which is just lurking in the shadows..Waiting for its chance to take everything away. What if someone told you that you only had a limited number if days left in this world? What if you knew that you would die tomorrow?
My friends, I will give you a taste of what I had experienced in my dream. It all started with a normal trip to a hospital. I was diagnosed for having some kind of brain cancer by the doctor. Instantaneously, my heart fell.. But that would not compare to what the doctor would say to me next.
Three days... That's all I have. Three days in this world until I leave this world and return to God. I spent most of the days with my family.. And time passed unbelievably fast.
The final day came.. The only thing I could do.. Is to thank my family and friends for their love and care. I cried..In my dream.. Finally the time came.. I felt tired..Very tired.. The urge to lie down in my bed and sleep was irresistible..
There I was.. Saying my last farewell. Goodbye.
I don't know why I had this dream but dreams come and dreams go. So to my fellow friends who are reading this right now, appreciate every sunrise and sunset you may experience. Live life to the fullest.. And don't leave any regrets behind. After all.. We would return to our Father God and have our eternal peace in the heavens.
