one day even these digital fingerprints will fade.
I think this was an interesting way to look at death. I like how it acknowledges that my mother, grandmothers,
grandfathers, friends, neighbors and mentors who have already passed are still very much alive as long as I am
here and remember all they have passed along to make me who I am. As I tell readers and my children about
their lives and how they touched mine, they will live on far into the future through these stories.
It also gives me some comfort that through my children and their future families, I might be alive for a very
long time. Even after my love for fast food and sugary treats has taken its mortal toll (in my very old years, if
I am fortunate), my children might see me in their yard as a red bellied robin while lying in a hammock and
reading Extol under a shade tree.
And if they remember me through that spring robin in the yard, perhaps they might recall what the late poet
Emily Dickinson, still very much alive through her words, once wrote:
If I shouldn’t be alive
When the Robins come,
Give the one in Red Cravat,
A Memorial crumb.
If a crumb isn’t handy, my children will knowingly recall my sweet tooth and know that a dab of cotton candy
will suffice as I watch over them.
