The phrase “bucket list” is used so often it has almost become a cliché. How many times do you say it or hear someone say it? We think of a bucket list as a personal compilation of goals, dreams, and experiences a person hopes to accomplish or experience in his or her lifetime before they die.
You might remember the movie 2007 “Bucket List” with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Nicholson plays Edward Cole, a billionaire with only six months left to live. Carter Chambers, played by Freeman, is a family-oriented car mechanic also with only six months left to live. Carter has written a “bucket list” of things to do before he dies, and Edward is able to fund the activities from his own pocket. The pair set off on an adventure that includes skydiving, driving race cars, riding motorcycles, and visiting Pyramids.
Ultimately, the film reminds us that the adventures were about finding joy, peace, and love, rather than just checking places off a list. While the premise of these two patients connecting in the hospital does not seem plausible, we get the message. Don’t wait until it is too late to have the experiences you desire.
