100 Days Before I Die

"100 days before I die. I made a bucket list for everything I want to experience in my remaining days. It wasn't only a bucket list but it became a lifeline - how I could squeeze out every minute of happiness of my already determined number of days. It may have put an expiration date on my life, but it won't define how I spend it. Chronic myelogenous leukemia would not dictate these precious last days of mine to squander on something as vile as regret. From soaring like a bird to witness the stars, through this dance in the rain, or even trying out all delicious tastes I could possibly have, I will never be defeated by this illness inside me. Here are the next 100 days-to live more recklessly, to love more deeply and leave behind what may end up being a legacy" - Pein Claire Clifford
