My Wife / Hospice tonight / Your bucket list

[Ant]

Not one to post too often but am at home thinking about my wife/ Life / and all that it entails
She has just been admitted to a hospice in Wellington NZ.(no good outcome from here we are told)
We have battled this thing for 7 years
I feel quite low tonight , Just come home and opened a bottle of Chivas Regal she bought me for my birthday last week

We ticked off a few bucket list things for her in the last 2 months....

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, swimming in a pool 55 stories up.. Awesome
letting our son do his flying lesson on his 13th Birthday.. Awesome
Getting her adn my sons NZ citizenship together last month ... Awesome (they did push a few things thru for her)
Her doing a jet ski adventure in the Gold Coast ....Awesome
Helicopter ride over the Gold Coast.... Awesome

My Question is what are your bucket list things..
and why do we wait till we are told not long left before we do these things?
Im not sure I hav any bucket list things , does that make me odd?

I have a bucket list as long as my arm mate but just done have the cash to do most , City winning the league was what I wanted most though.

Ant, you've just changed my outlook.

The two of you deserve nothing but the best of love and luck, whatever you decide to do.

I think people leave it until the end because life just gets in the way. We all have a list of things we would love to do but how's that possible when you have a mortgage and a family to support and a job that takes up your whole week for money that just gets spent on bills.

Such sad news
Thoughts are with you and your wife x

Best wishes pal :)

This puts everything into perspective - live every day as if it were your last, for one day it will be.
Best wishes to you both at this difficult time.

That was a sobering read. I'm really sorry for you Blue at this difficult time.
I suppose we all think we've plenty of time 'til someone tells us otherwise.
