I'm Not Dead!!!

I told the wife to donate my body to science, (I am already an organ donor)

she said, no, so I will be cremated, and my urn, if I go first, will go in her coffin, (she is being buried in a home town cemetery, near her sister ,, already have the plot)

My youngest daughter is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. During her studies, she and her classmates dissected three cadavers. They sent letters to the families, telling them how much they had learned, and how much their family member's donation would help others.

instead of all this talk about cadavers and grave sites, could we please see a picture of the PPK? Jim

We DID veer a little off topic. At least we kept the subject of dead.

Been married nearly 50 years (you know how that is). My kids are grown, have their own lives and want their independence. I have no grand kids. My pets are gone and we don't plan on getting any more. Nearly all my family and friends are gone. I couldn't find 6 pallbearers for me nor my wife if I had to. Have reservations against being toasted. In short, I sometimes feel I have more to die for than to live for and thus I'm kind of looking forward to leaving.

It's the path getting there that concerns me. Everyone desires a quick death. Laying up in a hospital bed on machines in pain for a long period of time isn't for me. I don't have a death wish, just don't intend to fight if I get something terminal.

My uncle who passed away a couple of years had lived in the States for a large portion of his life, if not most of it. When he died his wife did not want his ashes, so we said send them to us. Uncle Gus was always a proud Canadian and never wished to change his citizenship. One time when he was visiting, he asked me to take him to a lake near our cabin. When he was a very young man he would take the train up from Vancouver, get off and hike up to this lake to go fishing.

So, when I got those ashes, I took them up into the mountains and here is his view. I am also taking some to the big island where he lived happily for many years. A few went into the backyard so he could be close.

I doubt that he gives a xxxx, but you never know and if I run into him when I snuff it, well better he is not pissed with me, as he is a hero. Gave me a nice gun too.

My wife has an aunt and uncle who are getting on in age and not doing too well health wise. They have no children. He was born in Hawaii. Their intentions are to be cremated when they pass. My wife and I have been asked to spread their ashes in Hawaii when that time comes. Where in Hawaii I don't know. I'm letting my wife find out that info. Hopefully it will be a few years yet.

Sorry your thread has been hijacked Bruce but when you mention dead around a bunch of old guys things can get out of hand.

File pictures to return to original subject. Not mine.

Sorry your thread has been hijacked Bruce but when you mention dead around a bunch of old guys things can get out of hand. No worries!!! Have buried all my immediate family except my little brother. He has to give me six months' notice before shuffling off this mortal coil. Sincerely. bruce.
