When I die I hope God says "I knew you well my good and faithful servent"
I want my family to follow thru with my wishes. I want someone loving to take Tia.

I want people to say: "Wow 105 years old!" ;D
Very inspiring !
Mind you, I am not too unhappy if I can settle for "...Wow 95 years old..." ;D

When I die......
I don't want a funeral, I want my family to have a get together and have a "celebration of life"
I want to be happy for me that I "graduated" from this life, that I learned the lessons I came to learn in this life time which I will use in a future life. I have told them, I don't want any sad faces, I want them to be happy that the Lord decided I was ready to take me home..
(my philosophy if that we life is a school where we come to learn lessons which we will use in future lives. When we learn the lesson we came to learn to be a better person in a future life, we graduate from this life form, and move on. )
When I die.......
I want my family to donate my body to science. I want body to be donated, so it can be used to help others, whether by donation or by research,
-
This thread makes me weep. Not cry because that takes effort. I weep..... the tears just fall.
I don't like to think about the mess I'm leaving my sisters. I still have a house in Sacramento that needs to be sold then the house I'm in now will need to be sold and all my junk gone through and my dogs and and and. God give them strength. AND yes, let Roger help.
-
I always tought (even before I got sick) that I don't wanna die first because I would miss everyone too much. I wouldn't wanna go. ;D
So I guess I'd want to be the last to go. ;D

You know- this is a very touching thread. I wanted to tell you how important the things you're saying REALLY,really are for those left behind.
When Jack, my husband died...I knew without a shadow of doubt that I had loved him totally, without regret, and I knew he knew that too. He died knowing he had been loved as much as he had loved in return. That simple knowledge we often talked about,We both felt so lucky to have found each other - we were careful not to take each other for granted. In the last two years the memory of those conversations have been a great comfort to me. I also did not have to worry that I was not honoring his wishes, we had that conversation multiple times so we were each very clear on what we wanted the other to do if one of had to leave.
Most of you know I recently lost my oldest child, a daughter at the age of 21, I know, with no doubt, that she felt loved every day of her life. Hugs and I love you's are so important you know?
So write what you really want people to know if you cant tell them, or do both- make sure they know-even thought its hard to talk about when the grief hits them - its a big relief not to have to guess what they wanted.

Thank you, glitter to come back with your thoughts,
they are very much appreciated and very touching.
What you thought made me also re-think again about my own situation.
As you can imagine I have written many letters to many authorities,
MP’s, Prime Ministers, the Queen etc., in an effort to receive health-care in my ESRF
with a kidney-function of 10-12% caused by a very rare disease,
but there is no help, no assistance, because no one here is in a position to assist me
to receive any NHS-health-care in my ESRF.
In our system here everyone is “bound by a working-contract” which they all have to sign.
In other words, my desperate situation does not fit into anyone’s working-contract here in the UK.
In order to keep their contract they are not allowed to think on their feet and help or assist me,
but their working-contract forces them to ignore problems like mine in the NHS with rare diseases etc.
But, and here is the point, what you thought, made me think again,
because many of those authorities did answer me,
telling me, how very sorry they are, that their position (working-contract)
does not allow them to assist me in sorting out my problem with the NHS.
I have always dismissed their answers as “the answer of just another wimp”,
but they might have had their own point, because after all,
they are just protecting their own income and their own working-situation
and my problem does not fit into their working-remit or their working-contract.
Your thoughts made me realize not to judge all these negative answers too harshly
because we are going through a big change and very harsh times.

Wonderful thread.
When I die I also want a celebration of my life.
When I die I want my husband to do wonderful things with the money he works so hard to make. (all the money we've had to
spend on deductibles, medications, etc.)
When I die I want to be cremated and kept in an air conditioned home. (this one is important. ;D)
When I die I pray my husband continues to care for our animals/fur babies with the same love and understanding that I provide.
When I die I want to have either a video or slide show put together of me and my family and friends, and for my
family and friends.
When I die I want my family and friends to continue to talk to me.
When I die I want lots of stories and laughter at my celebration. There is lots to laugh about.
When I die I want my nieces to have all my jewelry and my mother's jewelry, all our old family photos, etc.

When I die I'm looking forward to a long rest. I feel really lucky. I got to make love to beautiful women (they're all beautiful on the inside); surf some tasty waves (Hawaii, Mexico, California); party like an animal; and pursue a lot of different interests and meet a lot of interesting people. :beer1;
-
When I die I want...
To have lived long enough for my now tween/teenaged children to be finished with college, all grown-up and on their own. Anything more than that will be icing on the cake :bandance;
-
When I die.....
I want my children to know how much they were truely loved
I want my ex husband to know I forgive him
I want a party with polish food, beer and friends and family remembering the good times not the bad
I want to see my children out on their own and doing well and happy
I want to see our lord and thank him for giving me the time I had on earth, the good the bad and ugly :clap;
-
When I die, I want nothing.

I'd like someone to find my body within a reasonable amount of time ... but I doubt it. I hope I die in my sleep.
-
When I die, I want my family to know I will haunt to them to the ends of earth and back if they dump my four-leggeds (cats & dogs) at a kill-shelter. I'm putting a will together that will include care plans for them. It's still my only worry.
-
