Inevitability


If a plug needs to be pulled, do it with no guilt, remorse or shame.
I don't want a casket or a funeral.
Scatter my ashes in a river that flows to the sea.
Of all my possessions, choose just one to cherish. The rest sell, give away or toss.

Of what money is left, have a party surrounded by your friends and family.
Drink, toast to my memory. Laugh at my craziness. Remember my love.
Celebrate my life, not my struggle.`

Remember my laughter.
Remember how I treated others.
Remember my love for children and animals.
Remember how I would find beauty in the mundane.
Remember adventures no matter how small.
Remember I was an independent thinker.

Know that I loved ferociously.
That my heart was huge, but tender.

Know that my greatest joy, my greatest love is you.
Know that I want you to have every thing you need in your life to be happy.
Know that I want your struggles to be few and short lived.
Know that I want you to be surrounded by loving friends and family for the whole of your days.

Know that in your children's laughter, I will be there.
Know that when you hear a bird singing, I will be there.
Know when you are hurting, I am there.
Know that when you are your happiest, I am there.

Beyond the curtain of death is unknown,
but science tells us that matter is not destroyed,
it just changes.
I will be with you forever.
My love for you is beyond the moon.

With Eternal Love,

Mom
XOXOXOXOXOXO
