Oh, that's where my brain is going. Hopefully not for a while yet though.

My sister has already summed me up at dad's funeral as a "wonderful wife and mother" -nothing about my abilities, whereas my brother was intelligent, hardworking and a successful businessman, and my daughter was beautiful,caring and talented. So I have no good qualities myself and am only defined by my nurturing role. Don't need to put that on any grave.

That's just someone else's perspective Caroline. Don't take that to heart... and besides as we all know, being described as a wife and mother sounds so simple, yet we both know that it's far, far more complex than that. :)

Yeah, I know she meant well, but still, have I no talents at all other than to raise a child and love a husband? Could have been worse- at least she used the word "wonderful".

I think to love another, and to mother a child, would be the greatest achievement of all. I don't think, when I am gone, there will be anything left of my efforts in this world, and no good memories. Just bar room stories and meaningless artifacts.

You are doing ok Caroline. Your children will cry at your funeral. Debt collectors will cry at mine....

Mine will probably be a bill from Dignitas. Although perhaps they request you settle up first. I'm not sentimental enough to want to slope off slowly.

Got to agree Turbine, Jeeezussssss we should be married. :unsure:

I think I will be reaching for the Mess Webley when it looks like the end. ( probably when I need chemical stimulants to achieve what a short skirt does now :thumbsup: )
