If you are reading this, I am probably dead. Obviously I don't know how it happened but, I'm sure, you are all coping with my death in your own ways. What ever happens after death I'm sure that I'll survive, and if there isn't anything...its to late to come back now I guess.
While I write this letter it is hard for me to think about my own death, I've never spent much time thinking about what I would like done afterwards, I don't know what to say. I think people divvy up their belongings in letters like this, and on that note you all can have what ever you would like and sell the rest, or donate it, it's up to you. As for what to do with "me" I would like to be cremated, or aquamated if that is in Canada by the time I die and isn't more expensive than cremation, and then I'd like my urn to be buried in a park with a tree planted on top of it with a little memory card in front of it. The tree doesn't have to be any specific type, although a Gary Oak would be nice because the grow well and I always think of them as our family's tree. I also want the sapling decorated like a Christmas tree, nothing elaborate, with a few ornaments. I remember going on a run at Elk lake and seeing some trees decorated in the forest which made me happy for the rest of the day, I'd like something like that to be left for people to remember me by. Something cheery!
I look forward to seeing you on the "other side" and if there isn't another side enjoy this one as much as you can.
Love,
Emily
*** Thanks to Gr. 10 English class for this entry. I remember having to write a death bed letter in class and thought "Hey, why not do it again for this blog prompt!" Obviously I'm not dead, I'll see you all in class tomorrow!
