movie that gets me

The bucket list! It's not just the clever rantings of Jack Nicholson or the serenity and knowledge portrayed by Morgan Freeman that make me love this movie but the main subject of the movie: mortality.

To me, death has always been another part of life as worthy as discussing as the weather and gas prices. It's not that I am incredibly morbid or morose; anyone that has ever met me can vouch for that, I’m actually a very upbeat person: ). It is the simple fact that I consider death as a simple part of life and therefore equally worthy of discussion as anything else. And so I speak of death freely.

I often wonder about my funeral and what "my world" would be like without me. I am always wondering who would show up to my funeral, who wouldn't and who I wouldn't allow in. In my own funeral processions, I have a vip list, a general audience, and a bouncer at the door for those that didn't truly care about me in life. :)

My daily conversations contain verbiage such as “what would you do If I died?” or “would you cry if I died?” or even, "That person isn't allowed to go to my funeral.” Lol. People think I’m joking around about it but death is very real to me. I was born one day and likewise, one day I will die. It is not a big deal, but it is a real deal.
There are many things that I want to accomplish, try and have before I go on to be with Jesus. Nonetheless my reality is that one day, I will go on to be with Jesus and when that day comes, I don’t want anybody to be surprised. I want those that truly love me to remember me, even if just for a while and then forget me and continue on living their lives happily.
