WHO ?

The recent case of a Qantas flight bound for Melbourne has an amazing escape from crashing with 300+ passengers and crew onboard. I was trying to visualize what happens if I am onboard that lucky flight. THAT moment in my life, when I am almost nearing death, when the plane MAY crash and not land safely, who is in my mind at that moment ? What I want to tell him/her ? 

Most the time only when we know that we are NOT going to live through the next hour, that the natural instinct will come and we want to pour out what's deeply rooted in our heart. That feelings of which our heart had delayed in getting it out to our loved. Taking it for granted and delaying the message until the last minute.

How often do we get that chance to walk out alive in such a situation and get to live to tell our loved one ? Very slim chances. But still many would have just take it for granted that we will leave it till tomorrow. I think I am one of those who delay and take things for granted. Am I ? I guess so.  

Now should I really want to put myself .. at that very moment. I have 2 person in mind. To tell my mum that I love her and thank you for being there for me ALL the times, though sometimes silently being there and not asking whether what I do is right or wrong, but by just being there ! The second person, would be my soul mate... my future soul mate ;p That I am sorry I did not live longer than you, and have to you weep over my dead, that I no longer can take care of you, that I no longer can make you that first cuppa coffee in the morning. I love you very much !

I can't really tell what would I do at THAT very moment but I'm sure as hell that I would be glad that I'm still alive, lol :D

Then I would tell my parents and close friends how much they meant to me, tell them how precious our lives are, and obviously share my experience with them.
