Assignment #51
Describe what to do with your body when you die.
I do not want a headstone or space in a plot of land. I would hope I have left a more permanent impact on the lives of those around me. Cremation would be preferred. I would want my funeral to be a celebration, not a place of sadness. Friends who had not spoken to each other in years would find each other, reconnect. I want happy memories and fun stories to be shared. Laughter, not tears. Death is natural.
I’d like for anyone in attendance to take a bit of my ashes. Find a place with meaning to them, a place where we shared a fond memory or a first meeting. Spread my remains there at this place and reminisce a little on those memories one last time. They are impossible to capture and preserve. Our memories, our lives are fleeting moments after all.

I’d take them to every country I go to. Your ass (or whatever cremated part it is) is traveling whether you want to or not.
