[nukkad] - To Remember Me -

[Mable Monteiro <MableM@microland.co.in>]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip of the day:  Do not add others to the list without their permission.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked
under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with
the living and the dying. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that
my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my
life has stopped.

When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by
the use of a machine. And don't call this my deathbed. Let it be called the
Bed of Life, and let my body be taken from it to help
others lead fuller lives.

Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love
in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused
nothing but endless days of pain. Give my blood to the teenager who was
pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his
grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist
from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my
body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary,and let them
grow so that someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and
a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.

b urn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the
flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all
prejudice against my fellow man.

Give my sins to the devil. Give my soul to God.

If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to
someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.


with warmest regards
