Life After Death

Some years ago, I had to fly to Scotland for a company conference, big deal I hear you say. WELL,
I had never flown before and to say that I was scared would have been a major understatement. I remember leaving home that morning, thinking, what if this is the last time I ever see Becky and the kids again. As I drove to Tim’s, a good friend of mine who would be flying with me, I started to worry even more about the ‘what if’.

Now, Tim knew I had never flown before, and like a true friend never once questioned or laughed at me over the point that I was 35 but acting like a 2 year old.

I remember going through Stanstead Airport and boarding Easyjet. Tim sat near the window and after that, it all became a bit more serious for me especially when the plain started to move.

Now, not being a religious person, I thought, well, praying won’t help, but hey, he may just be listening, I will close my eyes and drop him a quick note.

Do you know the strangest things that kept going through my mind was, if I die, there is so much I have never said to Becky and all the kids. I know I always tell Becky and the kids I love them, but if only I had had the chance to leave all my messages for them, so if this were the big day, they would know how I really felt. Then I started to worry about the strangest of things, like, where I keep the life policies, codes and passwords, what business interests I want left to whom. I know, we should have a WILL, but as the plane was heading up over the Midlands, my Solicitor was not anywhere in sight!

Well, we got there in one piece, and then after what was the most amazing conference of my life, ending with Tim and I on stage in front of hundreds of people, it was time to fly home.

Oh no, not again!

Now, the funny thing is, some things after a while fall from your mind and drift in to the past, and until the next time it happens, you forget about them. This was one of them, until I was at a coffee morning and someone did a talk about a new website, www.sayitwhen.com/abc and it brought all those emotions flooding back. This site is somewhere you can leave all your messages, songs, videos and much more for loved ones to access when you are gone. I know sounds morbid doesn’t it, but like taxes, you can’t cheat it.

The guys who run the site I think have something really special, check it out and let me know.
