How?

How do you prepare yourself for the unknown? Is it possible to wake up every day and know that that day may be the day you die? How can you wake up in the morning? How can you get out of bed? Would you do the same routine each day, brush your teeth and look yourself in the eyes, spit and rinse, dry your mouth, and turn away from what could be your last reflection? Would you make your bed, eat a healthy breakfast or would you leave your bed unmade and eat your favorite chocolate bar? Would you drive to work taking the same roads or would you call it quits and drive through the country side, enjoying the beauty of nature? If you knew what time you were supposed to die, would you call everyone and say good bye? Would you tell them that you loved them and that you wouldn’t forget them ever? Would you drive to your parent’s house and lye on your mother’s lap, give your dad a hug, sit in your old room, on your old bed and remember your life? Would you write a letter to those who you loved most and write down at least one memory with every person mentioned? Would you go to your favorite spot and stay there, waiting for your moment, smiling at the beauty around you, remembering good times, and close your eyes, tilting your head to the skies, ready?
