If I Should Die Before I Wake
A list of last wishes, hopes, and final requests to my loved ones, should I ever end up going before my time.
For starters, don’t mourn me. If you must cry and grieve for me as I understand (and honestly part of me kind of hopes the basics like my parents do) some of you may need to, for you — don’t do so for me.
And do it in general, for the least amount of time you feel possible. Don’t forget me, yet, move on, all of you. Wherever I am, I’m okay, I promise. I lived with faith no matter what, and I’ll die with it in the same fashion, no matter the day, year, or circumstances.
Life’s hard man, at least mine was/has been. Even if it was only 50 percent me who made it that way, and often it was far more than that. I don’t dwell on it today though, no time to really. My time on this earth has flown by and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon.
However, I do reflect and reminisce, to see what I can learn from experiences of my past, with people places, and things.
Understand I’m not in pain anymore, and I’m truly sorry I’ve left you all to carry the burden of it, I know what that weights like, and I’m relieved to no longer be obligated to carry it with me everywhere I go, as you all one day will no longer be required to…
