when i die, i also would much rather my family and friends celebrate the good times we had together, and celebrate life, while they can enjoy it.
“when i die, i also would much rather my family and friends celebrate the good times we had together, and celebrate life, while they can enjoy it.”
My mother died in 1981 of leukemia. She knew well in advance that she was dying and was at peace with it. She planned her own funeral including scriptures, songs, who she wanted there and who she did not want there. One of the things that was most important to her was that there be a party afterward — including 3 cheers — to celebrate her life and the knowledge that she was going to heaven.
I read once that one measure of a successful life is a standing room only funeral. I guess that would be ok but I’m my mother’s son... I just want there to be enough beer to go around at the after-party.
