My ending words

 I came across this i wrote a few years back when I thought I might die! Still fits today. But glad I am not planning on using it soon.

To my children, family and friends:
When you come across a trinket of mine tucked away in a drawer what will you remember of me? Nothing.

When you stand there in my living room and see the pictures on the wall, what will they say about me? Nothing

So this is what I want you to know. This is what I want you to remember about me when I’m gone.

Did you know…?
I was sentimental. Old songs, romantic movies, and happy endings made me cry. I leave for you a sense of caring.

I loved the sunshine but treasured rainy days too. I leave for you a desire to see the good in everything.

I stopped my car to look for rainbows whenever I thought there was even a slight possibility of seeing one. I leave for you a positive attitude and the desire to search for beauty when it’s not so obvious.

I often stopped to help someone stranded on the roadside. I leave for you compassion.

I paid for the meals of perfect strangers just because I thought God wanted me to and I did it anonymously. I leave for you the sound of the still small voice within to guide you in things of the heart.

I wanted to be a famous teacher more than anything else. Well, at first I wanted to be a nun. I leave for you the soul of a dreamer and the ability to know when to change.

I loved all kinds of music. I leave for you the ability to take one single note and hear the symphony within it.

I was fired from jobs at least three times in my life, and each time it took me in a new direction. I leave a sense of adventure and a spirit of readiness.

I loved vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake with vanilla icing, turkey dinner with all the trimmings and green bean caserol. I leave for you the vision of life as a feast and God at the head of the table.

Each time the phone rang I’d smile when I heard your voice. Be someone’s reason to smile.

I would have done anything for you, if you asked me. Be ready to give all you have to all who need.

I had friends all over the world. I leave for you the desire to make friends of strangers and a world without borders.

It is a will that measures the things of one’s life, but love that measures the woman. I love you all!
