📖 My Last Day on Earth (It's Either Up or It's Down)
By Jalisa Carey
This is not a story about dying - it's a story about living, right up to the last breath.
In My Last Day on Earth (It's Either Up or It's Down), Jalisa Carey opens her heart in a raw, unfiltered memoir told through the final hours of her imagined last day. Each chapter marks another hour closer to midnight, another chance to make peace, to love, to remember, and to say goodbye.
Through deeply personal letters and reflections, Jalisa looks back on the people who shaped her - from her mother's strength and her brother's tragic loss, to the love she shared with her wife Deann, their children, and the family that made her who she is. She writes to her son Javay, to her stepchildren Dasunni, Demala, Damarion, and Larell, to her siblings Dion, Destiny, John, and King, to her grandmother, father, and to the friends who stood by her - Kyia, Corey, and the Toyas.
Each page carries the weight of real love, regret, laughter, and faith. It's a journey through pain and forgiveness, through remembering and releasing - a book about a woman who's faced more loss than most, but still finds the strength to say thank you before she says goodbye.
"My Last Day on Earth (It's Either Up or It's Down)" is more than a memoir. It's a letter to life itself - honest, emotional, and unforgettable. It asks one simple question that echoes long after the last page:
If today were your last day, what would you want to say?
