I would like people to remember me as loving and lovable, talented and giving. Kind and receptive.
Fondly...with a smile.
My Dad was the greatest joke teller. He could command a room with joke after joke and have people literally holding their sides, wiping tears from their eyes from laughter. A week before he had to undergo surgery for an Aortic Abdominal Aneurisym (we knew it was serious and he may not survive),we gathered at my brother's house for a cookout and I lured my Dad into telling some of his all time greatest jokes while my husband video taped him. Fortunately, he did survive, despite the size of the aneurisym, for another 2 years but developed other problems from the life-saving surgery. 2 years later, at his Memorial Service, (he had been cremated),while people were arriving and looking at the photo board and talking, we ran that video over and over until the Funeral Director told us the Minister and Navy Guard were there and ready to begin. Dad was finishing up his last joke and everyone was standing around the TV laughing as if he was in the room with us. I think my Dad would have liked that. He left them laughing!
PUT IT ON THE OL' STONE;
REMEMBER ME AS YOU PASS BY
FOR YOU ARE NOW SO ONCE WAS I
AS I AM NOW YOU SOON SHALL BE
PREPARE FOR DEATH AND FOLLOW ME.
Remember me as I am - handsome, debonair, a man about town, loved and admired by all who ever saw me, humble, self-effacing and modest.
All seriousness aside - "I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam." So remember me as you think of me now - good or bad, it will not matter to me.
