2025 SYW: January 27

Share Your World is hosted by pensitivity101; she is some thought provoking questions for us to answer in this week’s challenge. I personally have not thought very much about these types of questions, but maybe I should be thinking about them and considering a plan in writing of my desired wishes.

Here are the questions for this week’s Share Your World Challenge:

• Do you have a bucket list?

At the present time, I do not have a bucket list. There are still some things I dream of doing, however, I do not think I have the means to accomplish some of them. One of my top goals is to visit the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City, Nevada. I want to visit my former spouse’s (and the father of my grown children) grave to pay my respects. If we make it there, Coleman would be seeing where his Pawpaw is buried. Another dream is take my grandson, Coleman, to California to meet his Pawpaw’s only living brother with a side trip to the Pacific Ocean.

• Cremation or burial?

My choice would be Cremation. The cost of burial is extremely expensive and, to me, an unnecessary burden. My parents were both cremated and their ashes were buried in the same burial plot. As to the ashes, I’m not sure if my children would prefer to scatter them or have them interred in a crypt.

• Recognised service/celebration of life, or private gathering?

It would definitely be a private gathering. I don’t believe many would gather except for a handful.

• Flowers or donations?

Flowers are pretty, but I would not be able to enjoy them if I were no longer present on this earth. Therefore, I would recommend, if desired, for people to make donations to the American Cancer Society or an agency like the Wounded Warrior Project.

Gratitude:

Dankbare Menschen sind wie fruchtbare Felder, sie geben das Empfangene zehnfach zurück.

Grateful people are like
fertile fields, they give back
what they receive tenfold.

August von Kotzebue
