One volunteer task involves work for an editor who passed last year.
Obviously, when I die I'll cease to exist and no longer care what's said about me, but I always think the best tributes for the dead would resemble elementary school report cards:
Played well with others.
Always helped with the animals, plants, and clean-up.
Sat with the new kid at lunch.
Still working on self-regulation with big feelings, but trying their best.
And the crème de la crème?
"A pleasure to have in class."
Oh, that is lovely. ❤️ What a beautiful thing, to give tribute to another even in a tribute to yourself.
