Bucket list radio show lady
I was listening to the radio the other day and one of the shows I listen to does a weekly OPP – Other People’s Problems – where they will let someone write in with an issue they are having and let listeners call in and post on Facebook what they would do it that situation.
On this particular show, a wife wrote in because her husband was fulfilling his dying father’s bucket list which was becoming an expensive investment. The wife did not think it fair that her husband be spending all their money on these lavish excursions.
Now, the father was given 3-6 months to live when the bucketlist started being fulfilled. It had now been over six months when the wife wrote in and she was ready for it to end. She was upset that they could not buy their THIRD house because of what was being spent on the father’s bucket list, especially when it had been over the 6 months already. And yes, that is how it was written.
I am a big bucketlister. I have a bucketlist that, without being entirely too rich, I couldn’t fulfill in probably 2-3 lifetimes. It’s a good list though! I’ll take it a year at a time and try to do it. I also don’t have a family that I would fulfill their bucketlists. My parents are gone, my grandparents are gone, my aunts and uncles are people I speak to once every few years. My husband’s parents are still part of our lives though. I don’t know that they are big on the bucketlist thing.
But, with the fact I believe in bucket lists. With the fact that I know my entire bucketlist will probably never be fulfilled. With the fact that a bond between a father and a son is one of the great bonds of the world and becoming more and more rare. I know that I would expect my husband to allow me to do everything I could to fulfill someone I love’s dying wish and I know I would do the same for him and someone he loves. Especially if it was either that or a THIRD house!
I can’t believe that anyone can say to their spouse, the person they wanted to spend their lives with, that they can’t make lasting memories with their father in his last months. Especially when they very obviously had the means to do so. I could not believe that she would essentially say that his 6 months was up, either. It seemed as if she hoped he would have gone earlier than later.
Hell, if my kids find out I’m going to be leaving this world and an expiration date has been put on me (I do plan on living to 100, though) and they are willing to help me live one or two more adventures from my bucketlist, I hope to goodness that their spouses say LET’S DO THIS, instead of but then we can’t have a second vacation home, honey.
