I have been thinking about death lately. Pretty morbid and grim I know. I just can't help it. With everything that is happening around the world today, it's hard not to think about your mortality. It's true that no matter how careful you are, if it is your time to go, it's your time to go but the chances are at these days are higher. *sigh* The things that I think of during my free time eh?
What would you want your loved ones to remember you for?
Me, I hope that when I die, people remember me as being compassionate, loving and fiercely loyal. I would want my daughter to remember all the time I spend with her pushing her on the swing or singing and dancing crazily in our living room to one of the Wiggles' song. I want her to remember that we once went down to the park just to stomp on mud puddles from the rain. I want her to remember that I sing (albiet out of tune) to her every morning in the car on our way to day care. I want her to remember all those tears that I wipe when she is upset about things (eventhough she might look back and think "gee that was stupid"). Nothing is ever stupid to me my darling baby.
To my husband, I hope he remembers me all the nights we spent awake on the bed just talking about things or just staring at the ceiling. I want him to remember our passionate fights about things (I always tell him that the moment I stop fighting with him, is the moment that he should worry because it means that I don't care anymore). I want him to remember the first time we met and what drink he bought me that night. :) I will always love you my dear, even from the grave, you will hear me nagging you to throw the rubbish. HAHA ;)
To the rest of the family, I hope you remember that I love each and everyone of you (the good, the bad and the ugly). I hope you remember how we always have bubble tea after dinner and how we always can't decide what to have for Friday Dinners. How we always give each other slack for not coming or missing one Friday Dinner. I hope you remember our trip to Nepal for my wedding and how we got stuck in the stinky airport in Dharan trying to kill 6 hours by doing absolutely nothing. Please remember to come at 7pm sharp at the designated restaurant this Friday. :)
Another thing I need to remember to do is sort my Will and remember to get life insurance (important I guess because I do not want my family to be left with my debt). I also need to sort out how and where I would to be buried. The list goes on and on.
So, your turn? What would you like to be remembered for?
