Today's Topic:

You have only 250 minutes to live, (4.1 hours) and have the chance to speak to three people. Who do you call or see and why? What do you say and how do you feel the conversations would end?

Life goes by quickly and it's fleeting. There is never enough time to make up for leaving a loved one behind but the best we can do is to make good use of that time to our advantage.

A wise man once said that last words are for fools who never said enough when they were alive. I would not tell them anything different from what I have been telling them but I would gather them together and have fun the best way that I can.

I would call my wife - that would be the first thing I would do. I would tell her what a privilege it is to have known her and raised amazing children with her. I would remind her of those memories we have created together. I would spend just 30 minutes on the phone with her as she would be making her way home to meet with me.

I would also call my first brother and appreciate him for being the pillar of the family and for the privilege of having him as a brother. I would also tell him to make his way to my house after the call. This shouldn't last more than 10 minutes.

I would then call my other brother; the immediate brother to tell him how proud I am with the things he has been able to achieve and wish his music career the best. I would also spend 10 minutes with him and ask him to come to the house when he is done with my call.

It's not a moment to grieve but to create another memory that would last a lifetime. There is no point in grieving because it's inevitable but what we do with that time is what would count.

When we have all converged together, I am going to play PlayStation with every one of them. I would tell them to enjoy every minute of it. My wife doesn't like football games, so I would play Mortal Kombat with her for 30 minutes while I do the same with my brothers regarding football. They don't like playing football games with me because I always beat them and I would be more than happy to beat them for the last time as I take the record yonder.

Afterwards, I would speak with my wife privately as I hand over the passwords, private keys of my blogs and my seed phrases for all my wallets so she can take control of the funds. I don't want to be like that joke that was shared on the internet many years ago about a dying man that said, "I left a million dollars in the..." And he died.

The last few minutes that would remain would be spent with my children as I would take a walk with them for the last time and tell them to always remember that there is nothing they can't face in life, especially with a determined mind. It's nothing they haven't heard before but children sometimes need that reminder and those last words would ring in their heads longer.

I think the conversations and the moments would end on a good note. Towards the end, it might be emotional but a wise man once said that wise men are not afraid to die because they are always ready to leave. I believed it would be emotional but they would understand the need to muster the strength for the journey that lies ahead for each of them.

Cheers.

Gingered Up! ❣️
