As a writer, a creator I love endings almost as much as beginnings. The stuff in the middle is a bunch of bull really. My favorite type of ending is a full circle one. Where it ends the same way that it started. Before I divulge my last words I will tell you a little story ( A true one might I add).
Flashback to about 2004 and imagine a young, wordless toddler. For the two years prior to that I drank milk and ate mush, but at two I started to sprout teeth. My mother used to make me lunch every single day. I know what you're thinking, what kind of terrible mother feeds her child every day? Well, she fed me the same fantastic lunch every day for a while. She would ask me if I wanted the magical food and I would nod my little head. 700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJguu5aohUW

One day after tidying up the house she decided to push back lunch and take a nap on the couch. I couldn't wrap my two-year-old brain around the concept of not having lunch at lunchtime. I decided to waddle straight up to my mother relaxing on the couch and utter my first word. I was straight and to the point. I requested my favorite food. She sat up, blinked and asked me what I said. She heard what I said, but she was amazed that it was my first word. She jumped up immediately and made me my lunch because she was so proud of me for breaking my two-year silence for the first time.
So fast forward, hopefully, some decades later, as I am laying down facing the ceiling. IV's decorating my hand, while my bare bottom graces the hospital bed in those wonderfully designed death gowns the hospital provides you. If I'm surrounded by loved ones; my husband, children, sister, the nurse that took care of me, then I'd go down the line and thank them. I'd tell them how much I love them and not to cry for me after I'm gone. When I lean back, feeling my last breath about to come and carry me away I would use it to utter my first words. Making my life start and end with the same poetic words. Two things I uttered the first time and it will be the same two I'll utter the last. I'd whisper it to the world, let it roll gracefully of the tongue before I lay my head for eternal sleep.
