Death Becomes Her
Lately I have been thinking about the men in my life. And I'm not talking men in an ooh-la-la kind of way... I was thinking about the men who have helped shape my life, come alongside me and encouraged me and challenged me and been my friend. I was thinking about who I would like to be my pallbearers.
So... if something happens say a freak accident (I am lefthanded ;), or I die tragically yet ever so sweetly in my sleep you can inform my parents that I've listed out who I would like as my pallbearers in the back of my red and white striped notebook with the lighthouse on it.
Author's note: I've always been a little morbid. There's a secret about me. I've definitely spent more time thinking about my funeral than any potential wedding.

i have for sure spent more time thinking about my funeral than wedding. morbid? i don't know. practical? definitely. i told one of my friends that she's in charge of the music. you can't make these decisions after the fact...weddings have lots of time for planning.
that was an odd post....but at least when you think about your funeral...it really makes you want to do something with the dash in between... ie 1980 - ?
Paul says "if i go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body."
With that in mind...I really don't want to waste today.
and now, some inappropriate tombstone quotes:
On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia:
Here lies
Ezekial Aikle
Age 102
The Good
Die Young.
In a London, England cemetery:
Ann Mann
Here lies Ann Mann,
Who lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.
Dec. 8, 1767
Oops! Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York:
Born 1903--Died 1942
Looked up the elevator shaft to see if
the car was on the way down. It was.
In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery:
Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.
and my personal favourite:
In a Georgia cemetery:
"I told you I was sick!"
