Saw Drake off to the military last night. I managed to keep it good until after we left, then, I will admit I cried. It was a difficult goodbye we all had, but we tried to keep the conversation joking while making him answer some difficult questions. I was soaking him down with cold towels to help treat his sunburn, and he kept trying to get cheap feels on me, since he had a last chance. The whole conversation was all spurred by him promting us that Levi (Dan, my boyfriend) gets all his stuff, as he would know how to distrubite it accordingly. What a conversation though. One of those, "Hi, we just woke you up and are forcing you to confront your mortality" type of conversations.
So for the record, according to Drake, just in case anything is to happen... No funeral, but a large drunken wake, old school irish style. He wants to be creamated so Levi can grow him in a pot plant (A la How High style). He even gave us what he would want on his tombstone...(Cheese and pepperoni was the joke, of course).
Sobering really.
So, on that note, how many of YOU have thought about what YOU would want? I know I have'nt.... And I should. Remember,- life is often too short.
On an slightly unrelated note: I have adopted a new mantra, seen funnily enough on a church billboard.
"Some people persue happiness, others create it."
I am working very hard at that.
