My Last Wishes
Carolyn wrote a beautiful poem about a man carrying out the last wishes of his beloved and it inspired me to post my own last wishes.
Stand on a hill and scatter my ashes in the wind that I may truly be a part of the nature that I have loved; And after, whenever you feel the warmth of the sun, remember the warmth and the depth of my love for you. When you see the leaves of the trees dance merrily in the wind or see the Autumn wind chase them playfully along the ground, remember the joy with which I ran the fields with my dogs who were always my best friends. When you see the falling rain as it replenishes the streams and growing things, remember how I tried to nourish you in every way. Remember the things I tried to teach you, how I was there for you when you cried, were sick or in trouble. Even when you didn't want me or didn't know it, I was there. When you see the winter snow remember the snowmen we made every year when you were little and the warm hearth that was always there for you. Hear my laughter in the wind and the pitter patter of the rain. Feel the warmth of my love in the sun and know that I have loved you with all my heart. Love, Mom
