The honour walk.
When it comes to life, my ideologies have always sounded unconventional. I've never seen myself as just growing, doing life, having kids, getting old with grang/great-grand kids and dying to a big bash of a funeral.
Oh no no no, don't get me wrong. Will I want to grow into my 80's and more, yes of course if I'm granted the gift but that's not the 'main thing's for me.
Living a life that counts, positively impactful and worthwhile, be it long or short, is what I consider the 'main thing'.
Imagine my joy and the accompanying tears of the loss the family would be feeling when i watched the video of a child who was being given 'The Honour walk'.
An honor walk is a ceremonial event to commemorate a patient whose organs are donated. The event typically takes place as the patient is transported to an operating room or waiting ambulance prior to organ procurement. It is typically held for patients on life support but can also be held for living donors as well.
I've always wished to be able to donate my organs to others upon my death.
I'd love to have the honour walk in the sense that my life would count for something even up till the point when I breathe my last.
No matter my ideologies, I'm not unaware of the fact that my death would hurt my lover ones so every chance I get I shape their minds to see that what really matters is the impact our lives make, the beautiful memories we create, the gift of ourselves that we give to those who we love.
In general, when we die, will be people stand to give us the honour walk for the value/impact our lives have made or would they be heaving a sigh of relief that we're finally gone?
