My appologies for upsetting you with the question, that wasn't my intention.

It's a difficult one for all of us to have to face and deal with, especially in the context of Cystic Fibrosis, because it's so cruel. As a partner I dread the day that I'm going to wake up and not have my Angel's eyes to look in to...I dread that with my whole being.

I want to go first too.

Why do you wish you had CF?.

My nickname in real life is Jennifer Grace or Gracie........ I got that name because people could see how gracious God was being to me, and how much I actually needed Grace in my life... I was a real basketcase and mess about 11 years ago...


Mainly, I would want them to remember how gracious God was to me, in filling my life with so much love, and giving me my hearts desires in the relationships that as a child I only dreamed of.

I want to be remembered that I had fun in life. I travled to all ends of the earth, have had the best friends in the world, I drank 2 much, I loved menny women, I raced bicycles, saw some great bands, I got tattoed, and kept LIVING untill the end.

I'm not afraid of death, I just dont want to be stuck in a bed or on O2 before I go.

I know this will sound corny, but I want to be remembered as a good mother and someone who tried (but did not always succeed) in helping other people.

I want my children to look back and say "yeah, she screwed up sometimes, but she filled our lives with laughter and good times".

Corny, I know, but that is what I hope people remember of me!

How do I want to be remembered?

I just want to be remembered PERIOD. I am more afraid that I will be forgotten than anything.

As for what I wish if I am so lucky to have people remember me for years. I want people to look back and think wow she really made an impact. I want to change the world in a small way - if it means just changing a few people's perceptions of things. I want to be remembered as someone that could be a strong, independant, driven and openminded fighter(in terms of CF) but I also want to be seen as someone who was vulnerable, fragile and scared but was able to live and live happily despite all of that.

My main thing though is that I want to make an impact on the world - a good impact - even if it is small.

I also want to be remembered in loving ways not hurtful hateful ways. I want everyone to KNOW when they think of me that I loved them. Not just a superficial love but a deep down, gut wrenching, make you cry at the thought of being without them, don't want to EVER leave them love.

As for what I want on my headstone ... I want to be cremated so no headstone for me.

Edited to Add: I forgot I want to be remembered as different, unique, odd, ecclectic, strange whatever - to ME that is a good thing. There is NO ONE like me lol and I want people to remember that lol.

This message was written in my son's carepages after he passed away last year. It was written by a very dear friend of his.


"In February Matt sent me a package with a bunch of songs and movies he was currently into, and he told me if his end should ever come, this is the song he wanted to be remembered by. So, I am posting it here in my own sort of tribute.

Goodbye, my friend, I will see you again someday, and we will have many more memories just between us two."

"Hello Hooray" by Alice Cooper

Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin,
I've been ready.
Hello! Hooray! Let the lights grow dim,
I've been ready.

Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream.
Loving every second, ev'ry moment, ev'ry scream,
I've been waiting so long to sing my song
And I've been waiting so long for this thing to come.
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one.

Roll out! Roll out with your American dream and its recruits,
I've been ready.
Roll out! Roll out with your circus freaks and hula hoops,
I've been ready.

Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream.
Loving every second, ev'ry moment, ev'ry scream,
I've been waiting so long to sing my song
And I've been waiting so long for this thing to come.
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one.

I can stand here strong and thin.
I can laugh when this thing begins.

God, I feel so strong.
I feel so strong.
I'm so strong.
I feel so strong.
So strong.
God, I feel so strong,
I am so strong.

I want to be remembered as a grandma and mother who loved her children and grandchildren to infinity and beyond, who was also a good and loving friend to all who knew her, and was once loved by a wonderful man.
