I spent the day hanging out and playing games with family. It was a good time. As part of the day's activities, we did something like speed dating, where we paired up, asked each other questions for a minute or two, and then switched. The questions ranged from superficial, like "What's your favorite kind of pizza?" to deep, like "If your house was burning, and you could only save one thing, what would you save?" One of the questions I asked one of my siblings was "If you had only 24 hours left to live, how would you spend them?" Her answer wasn't very surprising. She said (and I'm paraphrasing a bit here because I can't remember her answer word-for-word) she would choose to spend her last day on Earth with family.
Family is important. Family is so important that many people, if not most, would choose to spend their last moments with family. Unfortunately, we don't always know which moment will be our last. That's part of the reason why it's wise to spend time with family both regularly and frequently. When we die, we'll either wish we had spent more time with family, or we'll be glad we did.
