Anytime someone famous passes away I am always intrigued by the things people say or write about them, especially on social media. It's amazing how heartfelt some tributes can be without exceeding 140 characters. So today I started wondering what people would say about me if I checked out of planet earth.
First of all, I would hope that people noticed; not that I would know if they didn't. But I would just like to think that people would notice that I was gone and that they would care. I would hope that they would say that I loved my wife and my family. For me, it's all about the love. I really do try to see everyone through God's eyes. I would hope that people would remember that I was a Love Machine and that nothing was more important to me than my family.
And then, I would like to think that I brought a little laughter and joy into people's lives. We all need to laugh every day. As I've maintained from the beginning; Life is too serious to be taken seriously. We all need a 5 minute breath-mint from the world every day and I hope that I would be remembered as the guy who delivered the refreshment on a daily basis. I love to make people laugh.
And maybe, just maybe, I would hope that through the way that I've lived my life that my family and friends would have been drawn closer to God. I certainly haven't lived a perfect life but my heart has always been in the right place. Nothing would make me happier than to know that I made an eternal impact on someone's life.
Well, I'm not planning on going anywhere anytime soon but then again neither was Elvis. Anyway, be kind.
Be Well.
Bill
