It’s a Wonderful Life

In remembrance of Jessica Darling

Posted by: Jessica on: Friday,November 2, 2007

O.K., so let me tell you my new favorite thing is writer’s block with my newest myspace friend, Back In Black. He posts a new challenge once a week and you respond. So, this is my first week and please be patient with me, it’s my first time.

The challenge this week is to tell him about our funeral.

My Jr. Year of high school was a year in death. I had 3 people I cared about die in about a 6 month period. Therefore, I have had plenty of time to think about what my funeral would be like.

It will be a gray day with a tad bit of rain. There will be a small graveside service first for the family and close friends. After the ceremony, everyone will make their way to a little chapel for a memorial service. There you will find pictures; lots and lots of pictures. There will be pictures of me with everyone, from my first day of life to the last. There will also be music, nothing too sappy though. The one song that will definitely played is “The River” by Garth Brooks.

The service will be open. Possibly a few words from a “spiritual adviser” of some sort, but the rest will be left to the people. They will come up and share stories. Stories of how I was a fun person, good worker, good friend, how I was sloppy, goofy and not very normal at all. My children will shed some tears however it will not be a day to mourn but a day to celebrate the life I lived.
