Things I Will Miss When I Die

July 20, 2012

On Wednesday, I told you that Nora Ephron wrote two lists at the end of a collection of her work – a list of things she'll miss and a list of things she won't. I decided to start lists of my own and shared with you the list of Things I Won't Miss When I Die yesterday.

Now I don't believe I'll actually miss anything when I die because I'll be in heaven and it'll be awesome. But for the sake of the the list, let's say I was conscious of things I don't have anymore that I wish I still had. These would be some of those things.

An unexpected gift
