I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories that I leave
when my life is done.
These words were on a Memorial Card for Roy Leitz, dearly loved husband and anam cara of my wonderful friend Nancy.
I was very touched by them. It is how I would like to be remembered, when I breathe my last. Nancy please hang a copy on your fridge to read and reflect on as the days and weeks go by.
The topic Saying goodbye was brought to us this week by Padmini, I do hope that she has no intention of saying goodbye for many a long year. I wonder how she has tackled this subject today? Why not come along with me to check her out, before dropping in to see what the other active members are saying goodbye to: Delirious, Maxi, Ramana, Shackman speaks, & The Old Fossil, are the regular faithful crew, while Ashok, Maria/Gaelikaa, Maria SilverFox, Padmum, Blackwatertown, & Will Knott join us when life and time allows. Don’t forget that Rohit rejoined us last week, so please add him to the your weekly dander round the Loose Blogging Consortium
