It Is a Fact of Life

All of ya'll gonna think I have done lost my mind, but I promise I haven't!!!!   There are so many people that refuse to face the fact that one day we are all going  to die.  It really is just a fact of life.  Being in the insurance business I have met quite a number of people who would not discuss life insurance because it meant they were going to die or people who did not want to discuss health insurance because they might get sick.  Heeellllloooooo!  If you live long enough you are going to get sick and eventually all of us will die.  It just is what it is.    It is called LIFE!  With all that being said I ran across a quote today that I hope would make the perfect epitaph for my grave marker.  Now I know to some of you that sounds kinda morbid  but it really isn't.  I already have my plot (beside of Bobby) and the marker is in place.  When he was first diagnosed he would tell anyone that would listen, "either way I win".  His belief, and it gave great comfort to those who loved him was that regardless of the outcome he was a winner.  The children bought his or I should say our grave marker and underneath his is the quote, "I am in a win-win situation".  As I mentioned I found mine today, even though I have pretty much decided to be cremated (and what I want done with the ashes is another story), the following is the inscription I want on my marker.  "She loved life and it loved her back."  Is that not just awesome.  I know some of you may think it is kinda gross to even contemplate these things but hey, like I said, it is a fact of life.  Might as well accept the reality of it and deal with it.  It really does make it easier on those left behind.  To be continued I am sure.  I might even share with you what I want done with my ashes.  It is really funny.  But then that should not surprise any of you who read on a regular basis.
