I don't post very often but I have been a member of the board for a long time and was lurking long before that. I have never attended any of the CP events nor have I met any of the Planeteers. However, I have come to know some people through their threads.
I have read many of your posts and have to say that this thread says a lot about you. The mere fact that you are thinking about others shows how tremendous you are as a person.
My guess is that you are a treasure to those around you and that you have already given them the most valuable and precious thing they could ever want.....you!
Everything else is just things but are a way to remember someone. I always pray with my daughter for an opportunity to be a blessing to someone else.
In my opinion, if there is something of sentimental value that you wish for someone to have then I would give it to them in advance. The reason would be that if someone was in that position and felt strongly enough about me as a person to give it to me then I would be grateful for the opportunity to reciprocate and express to them how they have impacted my life and how thankful I would be that they were thinking about me at such a time. I would be upset if I didn't get that opportunity.
I think some people would be a little uneasy at first to accept it; however, giving them the opportunity to express themselves at a time when they think they won't get it will add to your legacy and further increase the impact you would have on someones life. Not that it is necessary.
I hope this doesn't come across as useless babble.....
God Bless!
