Last Words

Dying is such a strange subject because you don't want to think about it, but you can't help be somewhat curious as to when and how it will happen and what might happen next, if anything. I came across "20 Celebrities' Stunning Final Words Before Dying" online.  So many of them gave me goosebumps.  For most of the people quoted who I know of, the last words seem so fitting.  Some of them give me a sense of total bliss like they were completely at peace, some are a little spooky and sad.  It just got me thinking about how final last words are.  I know this is a morbid post, but I find it to be an interesting subject.  Let me know what you think!
