When looking at a person's lifespan it is insignificant in the whole time line of the world. The average life span is about 70 - 90 years.  That is not a lot of time to make a mark on the world but since I got sick it seems even shorter.  Making a mark is so important to some people. I feel why spend all that time to be remembered for something you didn't have fun doing.  I want to just be me and have fun.  I'd like to be remembered as being me. Greggory Kaiser copyright 1996 And if only one person a day looks at this web site then he is remembered.

The tree is the tree in our back yard that Greggory was always climbing, yes even that last summer he lived.  The soccer ball and running foot is the emblem on his high school ring.  The eagle because we both liked eagles and the last gift he bought me was an eagle plaque our last Christmas together.  The sun because the sun rises and sets on my children. On the beveled part of the stone is says:  Forever in my mind, my heart, my soul.  Beloved Son and Brother    The poem on the stone reads: Do not stand at my grave and weep,  I am not there I do not sleep.  I am a thousand winds that blow.  I am the diamond glints on snow.  I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumns rain.  When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush  of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.  Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there I did not die.

The song playing is "I will remember you" by Amy Grant
