If you have little time left in this planet, what will you do?

Perhaps most of us will spend much of our time with our family and cherish every second making them feel loved. There are those who will take their time fixing broken relationships or making amends to the people they’ve caused undue pain. Ultimately, it is about seizing the moment and not letting time pass by—and that’s what a terminally ill New Jersey man has done when he learned that he may die anytime soon.

The Press of Atlantic City reported that 71-year-old John Mudry got his wish to have one last big day at Bally’s Atlantic City on Tuesday, and it was made through the efforts of his family and with the help from his hospice caretakers and health care providers.

Mudry, who is suffering from a non-treatable bladder cancer, had chosen to live his life to the fullest by enjoying a couple of cold beers and playing a few more hands of blackjack instead of moping around and feeling sorry for himself inside his hospice, according to the news outlet.
