As the light turned green for pedestrians, Sam walked to cross the junction. His mind quickly wandered off to his conversation with his doctor, just an hour ago.
"Talk to your children please. This disease is aggressive. You may only have 2 months from the looks of it and you must give them the time they would want, to be with you."
Sam pondered for a bit. At this age, death was expected. It was a matter of when and how. Sam knew the day would come but he didn't expect it so soon. He thought he was healthy but guess he wasn't healthy enough.
He knew he needed to speed things up, to go through his bucket list of things he has been wanting to do. He needed to tell his children, to write a will, to transfer whatever that needs to be transferred so that things will be easier for them when the day comes.
But all he could think about, after crossing the junction, was lobster. He wanted to eat one. A huge one. One covered in sweet and sour gravy, if possible. And while he was still able to eat and while he still had money, he'd better go eat one.

Sam is right. Let's have lobster and a life. There's no need to make a will and because of his age his children had time enough to spend time with him if they really liked to do so.
Two months...what to eat? 🤔 No need to diet 🥳
