Your dying, you are given one last wish, and that is ....

    My mother in law was diagnosed with breast cancer in October. Had the surgery and they found it metastized to the lungs. She is doing chemotherapy now, but the cancer is spread pretty wide and thus an organization called Making Memories has given her a one last wish grant of $6000. Now she loves her five grandchildren and loves to do things with them. Because she is pretty poor, she has often made comments about how she would love to take them all to Disneyland or something like that. Something to make their final memories of her, a positive fun one and she could enjoy he time with them with some fun to watch in their eyes. Sounds like a good idea, right?

    Today she told us she is using the $6000 to take her and my father in law to Bethel in NYC. Now the rest of the family (Including all the grandchildren) are not Witnesses. The only one going will be my sister in law, the rest are not Witnesses. Guess she did not want to give her grandchildren that last positive memory, after all.

    What would you choose?

    I guess it's her money, but what a shame that she'd like to go tour a publishing house rather than spend time with her family.

    6000 bucks-5 children? And the money cannot be spent on myself?

    Easy- break it up into 5 interest bearing certificates and lock them up 'till each of them turn 19.

    I think I'd rent a motor home and see my grankids and kids and then tour the country, as much as $6000 would allow me. Probably spend that much just on gas to go not so far. They'd need to give me more than that for my last wish.

    If I believed it was "Da Troof" I'd probably go to Mecca, err, Bethel too.

    But since I don't I'd spend some of it with my dub family, but make sure the lion's share went to doing something with my long-time DFed older brother who me & my dub family treated like shite for the last couple of decades.

    OM.

    My last dying wish would be to tell everyone that I have ever hurt in the past that I was sorry.
