How do you want to be remembered?




Many people I know fear the thought of dying, while for others it is more about having to face the pain of losing a loved one.

A friend of mine has included in her Will, that she wants no tears or speeches at her funeral. She wants people wearing bright colors, to dance to loud joyous music, which she hopes to hear, from wherever she is.

In essence, she wants it to be an unforgettable party, with food and drinks galore, as a celebration of her life and the person she was, because that is the kind of person she is.

She loves life, despite the upheavals and the endless challenges that it throws her way and her unwavering Faith helps her maintain a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity.

She is one of the happiest people I know, who simply does the best she can and then leaves everything in God's Hands.

Her philosophy is simple: When I go Home to my Maker, isn’t that reason to celebrate?

So ….. how would you want to be remembered?
