Interesting or not

Meeting someone new is always interesting...

Whether it is a random occurrence or a friend saying that you should meet "X" because you two would get along really well.

I met X today and she was everything that was promised. She was also a little too young.

Not that I am an old, but I am set in my ways, and maybe that is my problem.

Anyway, that is not the point of this...

The point of this is, we had a conversation where we asked a series of get to know you questions and she asked one of the best ones I have ever heard. (In her defense, I started the series of questions with something about "Desert Island Music" and she went from there.)

"You have two minutes to live and you have the means to make a phone call. Who do you call?"

The follow-up to that is "What do you say?" but thankfully, that was unasked.

I know my answer, and I did not have to think about it, though it did cause reflection, but it struck me as interesting.

Who would I want the last person that I ever spoke to to be...

And what would I say?

Would my dying words be a burden or something they would treasure?

It made me think of a number of things. I always tell TEA, my mother, and my father that I love them when I get off the phone with them or when I am leaving because I want them to know that if anything happens, that was the last thing that I said.

It seems trite, but is helps me sleep at night.

So...what would you want the last thing you said to someone to be? Something bitter, something loving or something innocuous?
