Alrighty situation time! What would you do?

Someone very close to you that you absolutely love and adore is on their deathbed and makes one final request of you before they pass away. The catch is their request might take years or even a decade to fulfill and will ultimately get in the way of what you want to do for your life. What do you do? Put your desires and dreams aside indefinitely to fulfill their request or do you reject their request (obviously not to their face unless you're mean)?

I'm not promising something to a person who is dying that I really don't want to do.
If that person really loved and cares for me he/she would not want me doing things just to please them.
I would just let them know that it’d interfere with my goals in life and If they’re truly as close to me as it states they should be able to understand or not expect a request like that from me just because they’re dying🙊. I’d still be by their side until they passed and be as supportive as can be, but I’m not going to live my life for someone else no matter how close or important to me they are.

Unless it's taking care of their now orphan kids or old lonely parent or grandparent, I wouldn't do it.
Depending on what it was. When your dead your dead. You get last words. Not last actions. Life is for the living. The dead should rest and not try live through others. Id say it to their face "yea uhh...no"
The closest one knows me too well to request for any such stuff that could be beyond my reach in this lifetime.

Besides, we've been discussing this topic off and on & am aware of the bla in their wise head.
id most likely not do it but i think id feel guilty at first but eventually i'd let it go

That remimded me of this scene from New Years Eve. Lol
You accept and try, but not at the expense of yourwell being

if the request is reasonable for me to perform then yeah but if it's just something selfish then no
