I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

This one is random and funny, as COMM'd by billytea...
Matilda is watching Yellow Submarine for the first time:
The Beatles: All the lonely people - where do they all come from?
Matilda: They come from America!
The Beatles: Where do they all belong?
Matilda: JULY!

Happy Birthday meara and Jen!
To hell with that no crying crap. I want people bawling their eyes out at my sendoff. There'll be plenty of good food, and stories and laughing are also encouraged, but tears are mandatory.
JZ need have no fear in this regard.

Possibly too small.

Compassionately intolerant
Cosigned on the dcp's 'too small' comment...in my experience.
Though, that is a beautiful container. And, given that what is left of us does not remotely look like fireplace ash, it would work!

Our wings are not tired.
For what it’s worth, I think about how people will remember me and my guess is that they’d bring up some kind of generosity (that’s the most common compliment I get) but honestly I’d SO much rather be remembered as funny! You don’t have to work at generosity, anyone can do it. But to be funny? Much rarer.
And yeah, it’s so wild that Jacqueline said those words and without even remembering her instructions, we all naturally honor them.
And David, ya got us for better or for worse tho I know it’s a small consolation. And people are very concerned with the after, and will be here for you.

I dunno. I know way more funny people than I do generous people, so maybe anyone can do it, but most people don't! Don't sell yourself short here.

Hmmm okay good point. I hadn’t thought of it like that. I guess I was looking at it as to be generous, ya give something of what you have to someone else. Tada! But the ability to make someone laugh can feel like magic.

Because books.
When I was working the funeral homes answering service job, many people chose to have cremated remains made into jewelry. Which did not appeal to me, but a lot of folks found it comforting to carry that with them through each day. Plus, you could have multiple "stones" made.
That was a weird and very sobering job.
