What is your legacy?
Yesterday, I went to Arligh's wake. I was amazed at the turnout, but seeing how cool of a guy he is, I wasn't surprised. I don't think I'd draw a quarter of that crowd if I passed, but to see how many hearts he touched in just 28 years is just incredible.
It was a closed casket, which means the hit and run was bad. They said it was so bad they thought to just cremate him right off the bat. This was the first closed casket I have been to and I think I want my funeral to be the same.
Maybe I'm just being selfish but I want people to remember me as a lively happy guy. I think it would cause people more pain to see a guy like me laying in there, lifeless. Every funeral I've been to, people seem to grasp them in the coffin and it just breaks my heart to see that. I think if I just disappeared from the Earth, without being seen like that, people wouldn't have to remember that image but the last time they saw me, alive and well.
I'm really not kidding when I said I want a big fiesta type party when I pass on. Food, drinks, ice cream, balloon animals, caricature drawings, the whole 9. When God does call me back, I want to know I changed this world for the better. That the things I work towards gets continued. That I touched as many hearts as Arligh....
