Terminally ill patients tell what they value most in life

The Independent has put together a number of things that are valued by terminally ill patients. To the doctor who made the list, these people told them what they value most in their lives, and that gives us good clues about our own daily attitudes.

Nothing on the list has to do with material goods, money, luxury goods, cars, jewelry and the like. These are gems that cannot be bought with money and are part of our lives - except that we do not always value this kind of experience. Check out the valuable moments listed by the doctor below:

• See my kids playing baseball;
• Listening to my grandparents telling stories;
• My girlfriend giving me a surprise kiss on the cheek;
• Hold my wife in my arms knowing that there is no other place in the world where I would rather be;
• Sunday dinners at Grandma's, with the whole family together;

• My dog;
• See my fiance smiling and feel his arms around me;
• My daughter running towards me when I get home;
• The full of flowers and the rain;
• The day I got married. I said I would never marry and so I met her and now I have to leave her;

• Smell the fireplace on Christmas morning with my family;
• All my friends;
• See my family sleeping;
• The rush of weekday mornings. I know it sounds crazy, but I'll miss it. I'm going to miss the coffee, the full bathrooms, the quick to say goodbye to my wife, the kids forgetting about lunch ... You know what I mean;
• Rain. This is weird?

And would you miss leaving now?
