All of us know that a time will come for us to take our last breath and leave this human body - yet, the people in this list decided to make their last hours wonderful by doing something they longed to do for a long time.

We live as if there are countless days ahead. We fail to seize the moment and grab the opportunities to enjoy life to its fullest, do things that make our hearts sing, or express how we feel about the ones we cherish the most. It always seems that we will be able to do that 'later', when the only thing we really have is now.

So, what's on your bucket list? Don't wait for later, enjoy your life now.
