I am immortal
Many of us want to live forever - and we will.
A recent encounter with a strong sweet fragrance in our porch area brought back memories of our maternal grandmother to Fred and me. I didn't believe him then but our uncle says that she really did come back that evening to check up on us and see how we were doing. I brought Shannon out to investigate. So hopefully, Mama had a look at her too - my squirmy little bundle of energy.
But here on planet earth, how do we live forever? We live thru our children, and their children. Life goes on (minus the chances of us wiping ourselves out through nuclear war and global warming) even though our physical bodies demise. We are links in a chain of existence that gradually fade after our joints grow weak. Our hope is that our offspring will carry on shouldering the imprints of our DNA, threading them through the fabric of mankind.
And it seems that we can make return visits, inspections if you will.
