I was recently with one of my best girls for a quick yet FULL of love visit the other night. As we were driving back to her car, she played me some songs from her ipod and told me they were to be played at her "funeral" = "celebration of life." Um...funeral talk is not the ideal way to END your evening with a girlfriend who you love dearly and haven't yet begun to think about dying! Even though that same day it did come up from my husband's grandmother, so, I guess there was a theme to my day! Anyway, I held her hand while we listened, but one in particular, she said was her fave and I promised to start dancing and hopefully I wouldn't be the only one jumping about as we celebrated her beautiful, caring, giving, loving, laughing life of her's. I hope that I can still dance and jump about when I'm 99 years old or I hope she'll do the same for me if I go before her...but when I'm 99 years old. Ug, I'm having just as hard of a time writing this...so I'm trying to keep it short! Her song(s) came from the movie P.S. I Love You. Which I haven't seen, but now is at the top of the list so I can truly have my sob-fest proper. This is my friend's song below. It's a good one. Sorry, does this post even count as "fuzzy"?! If you've thought about this topic before, I'd love to here what song you'd want to be played when your life is celebrated:) Comments11/18/2011 4:28pm
I know, I know. I've had these convos with family members and it does feel weird to talk about 'last wishes' or whatever but it makes people feel so settled to know that the people they care about know their wishes. And, for the record, my mom's 'song' for that day is Spirit in the Sky. Now how the heck am I going to jam out to that?? haha! Maybe I'll pass on that Irish ditty and see what she thinks about that...Great post! xoxox
