I'd like to die peacefully of old age in my sleep, so no need for big goodbyes. "Goodnight" would do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-last-words-be#post-789027 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:19:34 +0000 MrsRoo 789027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, and I think it would depend on how old my kids were/what the circumstances were when that time came. </p> <p>My mom died from cancer when I was 17. I remember being rushed into her room in ICU to say goodbye, but she was already gone. She wrote letters to my dad, myself and my siblings. Not poetic, but heartfelt, and amazing to have after the fact. I hope I don't have to leave my family so young or tragically, but I like the idea of them having one last message from me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-last-words-be#post-788996 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:15:48 +0000 mrbee 788996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: sounds awfully poetic to me!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-last-words-be#post-788989 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:15:11 +0000 Bao 788989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably I love you...wow that is so scary to think about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-last-words-be#post-788987 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:14:43 +0000 heffalump 788987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea. </p> <p>My grandma's last words were my LO's name. She had been out for awhile but woke up when I brought LO to visit, she said her name very enthusiastically, and then went back to sleep. She loved LO so much.</p> <p>It's not anything poetic, but it was so special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-your-last-words-be#post-788968 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:11:05 +0000 mrbee 788968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of my mom's came down with cancer when I was very young, and he had decided that my brother and I were his sons (he had had three daughters and had always wanted a son). </p> <p>Just before he died, he called us into his hospital room and on his deathbed, told us to always listen to our mom. I remember everything about that moment... the smell of the room, the beep of the monitor, the sound of his voice. It was very intense and it made a big impact on me.</p> <p>If I passed on while in the hospital, I would probably end with just a simple, "I love you" or a variation on that. Hopefully by the time that happens, I'll have had time to come up with something more poetic. Maybe I'd record my farewell message as a video, so the kids would have something to remember me by.</p> <p>What would your last words be? </p>
