Default Re: How would you like to die, barring old age?

I think I would pick cancer. I want to know that I am going to die and be given an opportunity to receive the sacraments and spend time with my family with the knowledge I will die soon. The idea of a sudden and unexpected death should scare everyone.

If I could choose, it would be during the Mass, while I was at the keyboard praising God with my hands.

I hope I'd have the courage to be a martyr or die saving someone else Whatever it is I hope it's not sudden and unexpected or in my sleep. I want some closure. I want it to be meaningful. Surrounded by my family and friends, close to God.
