Live like you were dying

Oh Tim McGraw. Kryptonite. Before, it was "If you're reading this", about a soldier who had been killed in action. Today I heard "Live like you were dying" and it unraveled me a bit. My dad didn't go skydiving or climb and mountains; he certainly didn't ride any bulls. But I think he delayed his trip to the hospital because he knew he wouldn't be coming out. So he loved us like he was dying.
