I got a message that a former professor passed away some weeks ago. I haven't seen him since 1988. Although saddened by the news,I didn't go to his funeral. I just thought it's unnecessary. I haven't seen him for a long time, never had the chance nor the time to see him nor find out how he's been doing. I decided I would rather still have the memory of him being a jolly young professor, full of life, considerate, and most of all, very good looking. I want those happy memories about him stay that way.
Which reminds me to tell everyone that I don't want those people I haven't seen for a long long time to come visit me in my funeral. We never had the chance to meet up, catch up; what is the point of you going to my wake, regretting that you didn't keep in touch? I just don't like that.
I would rather be remembered as someone you like/hate. Someone who probably have said something nice/nasty in your face. Let it be that way.
No point seeing me dressed fabulously in my coffin.
