Heres the deal, recently we found out my 16 y.o. son has a rare disease and may have as little as a year left to live. My question is this: If you were told you had a year to live, how would you spend that time? Also... If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on things I could do to make his time left here more memorable please let me kmow.. ***EVERYONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT ON THIS TOPIC AND THANK YOU!****

The first thing I would probably do would be to sulk for a while, then snap out of it and take care of any loose ends and then start spending the days I had left with my family as much as possible.

What do he wants to do? Maybe he wants to have it stress down and just be near the family and feel day for day what he have energy til. Don´t put up to much around that u need to do a lot of things then it may stress the whole family out. There is so much things who will come with this time .thinking,talking,laughs,tears, hugs..it will change in diffrent things from week to week you all will grow with it and notice whats importent for u all in this time. I hope it made a bit sorted out in your mind it´s a hard time u going throug over there and for u I would say ..don´t forget and take 5 min time from time for yourself and fill yourself up with energy it´s so importent.

Thank you for your suggestion, I do agree with you on what needs to be done... And I will try and take out 5 minutes of the day for myself... Because I am over stressed
