I HAVE DONATED, MY BODY FOR PURPOSES OF MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH.
MY BODY WILL BE OF SOME USE. CONSIGNING MY BODY FOR BURIAL WAS NOT AN OPTION. MAKING FAT WORMS FATTER DID NOT APPEAL TO ME.
MY BODY SPEAKS TO ME LOUDLY AND CLEARLY --- IT SAYS YOU'VE GOT WEEKS, MONTHS, OR AT MOST A YEAR. I AM NOT SUICIDAL, ALTHOUGH MANY IN MY PAINFUL CONDITION WOULD OPT FOR IT. EVERY PART OF MY TORN BODY WANTS OUT BUT THERE ARE SOME UNFINISHED TASKS I MUST ATTEND TO FIRST.
I AM NOT A RICH MAN BUT I CAN LEAVE A LEGACY OF WORDS AND I MUST TRY TO BROADEN THIS LEGACY BY ADDING MORE BLOG POSTS AND COMPLETING ANOTHER STORY, A TRUE STORY OF ARMY DAYS PRIOR TO BASIC TRAINING. I CAN VISUALIZE MY FAMILY GATHERED AROUND THE LIVING ROOM, CELEBRATING MY SCRIBBLINGS WITH LAUGHTER MIXED WITH SOME TEARS PERHAPS.
I LEAVE YOU MY WORDS, AND ALL MY LOVE

Me too (am donating my body to science when the time comes). I think it's a good gesture.
When I think of my Saba, I think of a Word man.
