Whilst I commiserate with your (imminent?) loss, no excuse is necessary to tell/show you love those close to you. Life is fragile, and longevity a lottery.
The instructions are simple...

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Yup, I've started communicating with my family again, after finding out last week my mother has breast cancer. My Dad died when I was 20 (and one of his brothers and his dad followed in the next fortnight). My father-in-law died a few weeks ago, and we're still dealing with it. It wasn't unexpected (he had very bad emphysema, and had died and been revived a few times in the last few years), but even so, he'll be sorely missed. I'd known him for 30 years, so he was more of a father to me than my own. Blah blah blah.... etc etc...
Here's my philosophy: be like me, and make no real impression on the world, so when you die, there are no ripples....
... and that's what I think.

Or maybe not...

My thoughts are with you and your family Mike, no matter the age it's always hard to lose someone, hang onto those good memories of her and celebrate her life as well as mourning your loss.

Nup.
My father-in-law's death really got me thinking (all the more so, given that I had to write and deliver his eulogy). He was a small guy (about 5'2" or summat) but left a HUGE hole, due to the impression he made on people. He had a lot of friends, bazillions of relatives, and is very greatly grieved by all who knew him.

I kinda see your point - although I have to say it's pretty twisted. It would be a sad existence if we all aspired to never have any negative or positive influence upon the people around us.
Sure, you might not be too sad when a life that hasn't been worth living comes to an end - but it's much more sad to waste your life away aspiring have such a passing.
When my grandfather passed away about a year and a half ago everyone in our family were grieving, but only for our own loss. My grandfather had a full life and given his outset achieved a lot and had a positive influence upon a lot of people. I'm positively certain none of those people would rather not have known him and thus not be sad that he died. Saying goodbye over a crappy cellphone connection to the hospital in Denmark was really hard and I had a hard time coping with it, being on the other side of the planet trying to settle into a new life (it was only a week after we arrived, so pretty swift). I can't begin to imagine what it would be like for my grandmother who have been sick and now have fairly limited mobility - they were married for 55 years and bam he's gone, she was certain she'd be gone before him. Do you suggest that she would rather never have met my grandfather?
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

Ditto there,big
Sorry to read this dude. Not nice at all. I have a cousin with cancer & a terminally ill father so know what you mean about saying all you have to say while you will can. Cousin has a husband & 5 kids, bloody awful situation. It sure does make you thankful for what you have alright.
