I want them to remember that I was carefree and sweet. Overly honest at times, but really a great friend.
I have this problem, that I've seen too many times, of people who claim to be a persons friend, at their funeral. So I may do something crazy like have my survivors send out invites. I know it sounds weird. But I dont want someone speaking at my funeral who didn't even know me. You know?

I hear you, CJ. I lost 6 friends this summer, and my best friend and his wife were amongst them. They were killed in a motorcycle accident, and the people who showed up at that funeral who used to bad mouth them both... it just made me sick. Even my ex BIL and SIL showed up, simply so they could get in on some drama. If I hadn't been so angry and grief-stricken, I would have been disgusted.

I'm so sorry PerfidiousVixen.

I've lost so many people. And you see it, seriously at every funeral you go to. One of my best friends in highschool 15 years old, killed herself, she was a loner, only had about 5 friends, myself included. And so many people showed up at her funeral pretending to be her friend, and pity me pity me. I'm sorry but if you dont' give a damn about a person in life, you don't give a damn about them in death.

Thanks, Kristen. And that's too true, CJ.

I want them to remember that no matter how bad things got, they could rely on me. I want them to remember me laughing and making them laugh, and mostly I want them to remember how much I loved them all.

Although no one will remember me in a hundred years, I want my children and grandchildren to remember me for being there for them, my sincerity and my undying love for them.

Just not to miss me while I'm gone. I would hopefully be in a better place and just let them know that I am okay. I want them to remember as someone with a big heart.
