My Wife / Hospice tonight / Your bucket list

Blimey mate, my best wishes to you and your family
I decided back in December to start living my life as it has been in reverse for 2 or 3 years. Only get 1 shot at life so not something to waste your post has shown me that in an even brighter light. I have a bucket list that never ends I start next month ticking these things off

Good luck with the future mate

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.

This is very true, but of course people get a lot of comfort and happiness from their workmates and routine, my lovely Aunt who passed last year was working up to about a couple of weeks from the end, and could easily have gone around the world or whatever on hearing the news, but decided her family and workfriends are who she'd most like to be with - can't say fairer than that :)

Anyway OP, our thoughts are with you and your family at this time, all the best.
 
I think we're all guilty of putting things off, saying we'll do it next year or whatever, until life catches up with you. Very sobering post Ant and it's certainly made me think twice about a few things in my life I've been putting off, all the best mate to you and yours at this difficult time.
 
Hi Ant All the best wishes for you and your family x

To answer your question no I don't have a bucket list after losing a really good friend my whole outlook on life has changed . These days if something comes up that I want to do I will just do it and worry about the cost after .
 
When I turned 25 it scared the hell out of me thinking that I could get to 50 and look back, and think "I wish I'd done that". I hated the thought of getting a mortgage and then realising that that's it, nothing but kids, paying bills and retiring. So I made a kind of bucket list in my head and I'm on the way of doing those things. I've travelled around the southern states of America, done Vegas, done a bungee jump, swam in the Dead Sea, and although a generic part of the list "travel around Europe", I'm doing that slowly. Visiting Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Poland and Latvia.

My main happiness at the moment is that I've found someone to share it all with me, someone that has the exact mind frame that I have. I still want the house, kids and bills, but I always wanted to see the world before I do. Now I'm excited for all that.

Good luck to you and yours mate, thoughts are with you.
 
hi Ant, your attitude is humbling, we are thinking of you and your family. I am assuming if your lad is 13 mrs Ant can't be very old. I am 60 this year and I have already started a bucket list to do, not for my final years but for my now years, I'm not going to risk missing out cos of illness or death. whilst money will be an issue its the time that holds most of us back. I am going to make that time.

You've got some great memories to hang on to there. Well done for doing all those things.
I thought i could die happy when i saw City win the title but then when i became seriously ill a few months later, i wasn't so sure. Now i've recovered i take things a lot easier.
Your attitude is humbling in this terrible situation. Life can be very cruel.
My thoughts are with you.
