How Do You Wanna Go?
Death is common and can be very unexpected. You have to cherish every moment you have on this earth we only live once. Friends and family you can't take for granted you have to live everyday like it's your last because the only we're promised is death. My grandfather was the first family member that I actually knew who passed. He was a cool grandpa, always came around fit to or my birthday and was very encouraging about owning my own business. We had a couple moments before he passed, and when he died I really didn't take heart. I think it was because he wasn't around enough to have a impact when he died I was hurt but not really. Febuary 8, 2013 my family and I had to bury my Aunt Marie. It was crazy, I never been in my feelings before like that I didn't believe she was gone. But I knew my aunt, she was deaf but she never considered that a disability. Every time I would see her, she or would be smiling her face lit up the room like some one just lit fire crackers. If someone was sad she would poke or tickle them to get a smile or laugh she was always positive and loved being around family. It finally hit me Friday, as she was being lifted down 6 feet I looked around and smiled. I seen all the people she had impacted and remembered all the good memories she gave and thought to myself, she left earth on a good note. While on earth she was a giving and loving person, and even though she was deaf she didn't use that as an excuse and she always stayed positive. That's how she left, she was remember for all of the good and how uplifting she was. Now I think about how am I living my life, when I die I want my friends and family to remember for the good I did on earth. So I ask my fellow friends now as well, how do you wanna go??
