After working with terminally-ill patients, here's what medical experts say we should appreciate while we're still alive:
- Watching my sons throw a baseball.
- Listening to my grandparents tell stories.
- Holding my wife in my arms knowing there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be.
- My dog.
- My daughter running to me when I get home.
- The smell of flowers and rain.
- The day I got married. I said I never would. And then I met her. And now I have to leave her.
- All my friends.
- Watching my husband sleep.
- The rush of Monday mornings. I know it sounds crazy, but I'll miss it. I'll miss the coffee, the crowded bathrooms, my wife's quick kiss goodbye, the kids forgetting their lunch.. you get my point.
