But really

So at dinner with friends tonight I started telling them about the week I have coming up and with each new detail they cringed a bit more then concluded with them determining I'm not going to live through next week. So naturally we started planning my funeral. We came up with all kinds of funny things that aren't socially acceptable at funerals, so now I want to say what I would actually like. I don't want people to buy flowers, they just die, it's a waste of money, put that money towards my parents rent or linnea and Andreas weddings, such better uses for money than buying flowers that will just die. For decoration I just want tons of pictures! Ones that I have taken and ones of my and people that I love, that's how I decorate my life while I'm alive so it should be while I'm dead. There are pictures in a photo album on the bottom shelf in my room, start with those and the ones on my bulliten board. For entertainment and speakers I just want everybody to tell their favorite joke, or a joke they know I loved or would love. I dearly love to laugh so other people can too! I'd like my dad and mom to both speak about my life and habits and mannerisms and my love of the gospel. Id like Christie to play "abide with me, Tis eventide" on the violin. I'd like linnea and andrea and bob and Adam to sing, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" the Judy garland rendition. I'd like the picture on my headstone to be one that makes my face look thin and that I'm smiling largely in. And for it to say something about what a great friend I've been to those I've been in contact with in this mortal life. I think it'll be a lovely and unique affair. I don't want a fancy casket, give me the bare minimum, Heavenly Father can sort me out in the millennium, the packaging doesn't have to be over abundant. It'll be lovely!
