25. I saw this on a grave in Glencoe Ontario

Sep 2012

and if I was going the bury route I'd use it. As it is, maybe I'll have it engraved for my urn.
"Remember man, as you pass by
as you are now, so once was I
as I am now, so you shall be,
so prepare for death and
follow me"
This has stuck with me since I was 12 and I'm considerably older now.
