Recycling at its finest...

Driving in a small coastal town we saw a Jay Leno worthy sign. The sign on the top said Cemetery with an arrow pointing to the right. Directly beneath these words were "Recycling Center" also with a right pointing arrow. Now I am a huge fan of recycling. Even more, a huge fan of taking it to the nth degree. Recycling yourself when you are done with the shell we call a body. What a gift of love to the human race. A dear friend has had two heart transplants thanks to a family's unselfish gift of love. Someone else can see because of my dad's donated corneas. Someone can stop dialysis because of a kidney donation. A child is alive due to bone marrow given wholeheartedly. (Pardon the pun) Strides are made in medical research because of a whole body donation. Don't you love the idea of ultimate recycling? I wish that every cemetery had a first stop at a recycling center.I know it seems morbid, but I am so thankful for people who give of themselves and those families who give the ultimate sacrifice so that someone else might live. How beautiful is that?
