Collection: It's Your Funeral

Take Me As I Am

I may be young, but who doesn't think about the possibility of death? Of course it's inevitable; the end of all things. The beginning of whatever comes after our short human lives. It sometimes gets a little hairy on the battle field too. There's always a chance you could be mortally wounded or die or worse, the loss of loved one.

I can't help but wonder what they'll say at my funeral. I would hope that they don't make me out to be anything more than I am, but hope that they'll—I guess—characterize me in a good light. I can only hope my efforts to support and aid others will not have happened in vain. They don't exactly need to give me the title of hero, just the title of someone who cares about the wellbeing of others.

They would call me a loyal and compassionate friend. An intense mate and lover, capable of providing my boyfriend security and anything else he ever needed. A courageous and devoted hero who did not act out in hopes of recognition, but genuinely desired to keep the integrity of humanity. Hopefully I would be considered a man who instead of running from his problems, turned to face them with the will and strength we all need. I guess that's me being honest with myself and what I hope people see me as. I guess after I'm gone, it really won't matter what they think, will it?

That's not my point though. My point is that what I want them to say are all things that I want to be known for. Things I hope to do so that my life will be as rewarding as it can be. These are all the things I could ever hope to be. All the things people should see me as while they had me.

How do you wish to be viewed? What do you want people to see you as? After all, it's your funeral…

This story was written from Teddy's point of view. I'm not sure why I wrote it. It kind of just popped into my head and then I started writing. I hope you enjoyed. Review please. I changed the title when I re-uploaded.
