Before I Die!


I use to volunteer at an Alzheimer's facility, and I fell in love with all the elderly people there. There was this little old lady, that could only say one sentence. "Before I die! Before I die!" - If she heard you say any word, she would take those last words and say it. So if someone was saying for example: I want some chocolate chip cookies! She would say, "Before I die, Before I die, I have to have lots of chocolate chip cookies-before I die!"

If she heard someone say money- she would say "Before I die, Before I die, I have to have lot's of money before I die!" If you said, sex- she would say "Before I die, Before I die - I have to have lots of sex before I die! "

I'd say the word Love- and she would say - "Before I die, Before I die, I have to have lots of love before I die."

I think Living and Dying with Lots of Love around you, is the perfect thing to aim for- She died, a few months later.


"Lots of Love and God's Presence-Before I die! "

True Story!
