Covid -19 had really change our life as a whole, i never had guess that in the modern world and with all the advance technology that we have, this particular virus had really cause the world to stop and think.
During the lock down something that i had the abundant of time to do was to think about death. I am in my late 30, i am obese as you can see my picture and i do have some medical condition. I am a Type-2 Diabetic on medication, i have borderline HBP and occasional if i control my food intake Gout. Some people call this the trio of sickness. hehehe...
So with all that if i should have contracted the virus (knock on wood!!) by theory i would not have a chance of surviving it because i have a pre-medical condition that does not help in the particular virus attack hence the bleak outcome if well i would be dead.
So since i was far away from family when the lock-down happen, i was thinking if i am to died i would not like to trouble my family with the transport and stuff. I have some relative that had died here and the family would bring them back to my hometown and the cost of that logistic is astronomical. I don't want to burden them if that ever happen to me.
So lets plan our funeral.. 1st step we plan what to wear in the coffin, i would like to wear a hermit habit if that was possible, but you have to be profess to do that so i just want a simple plaid shirt and jeans, i would think that to sleep in jeans is comfortable, so my last journey why not plaid and jeans on my second journey. right? 2nd i would make a video of my last day, to thank everyone whom had remember me and came to my memorial, ask for forgiveness and final goodbyes to everyone, and hope my family would play it during my memorial. Made a 40 days and 100 days video too and 1 year memorial video too.. had it all..
3rd, as a catholic it was never really a norm in my community to cremate their love one remain, it is seen as a practice from a pagan culture. But the Vatican has come up with a document to allow cremation, so i would be cremate and only my ashes would be brought back to my home town. The video will help for the memorial and cremate is better if it was the virus so it brunt with me and does not effect anyone else.. I ask my family to make me a small columbarium at our family plot so i would always be near my love one. i would not ask for flower instead ask my family to do some charity in my memory. See simple and meaningful. So if i should pass away during this pandemic this is what i ask my family to do so it would not burden any of them.
We end our lock-down and i got transfer back nearer to my home town, i am grateful for the opportunity and as we say before change is the only constant. so let learn something and adapt to our new environment.
During lock-down with the abundant time i had i was pouring myself into the movies at Netflix and you-tube content and i find out something i really want to so soon, i would like to go camping with my love ones, nothing fancy like glamping or anything just maybe near a river or stream with tree and blue morning sky and stary nite sky. that would be lovely, we are around the camp fire and telling everyone what up with everyone life. yeah that would be very fun indeed.
So yeah, if we really think in a calm situation we can really accept what ever that would come in our life journey hehehe
that all for now
