Melvin picked up the printout, “What are you doing,” he said, waving the paper in my face.
“Trying to plan so things will be easier for you and the kids.”
“You want a band to play shag music? He said, his scowl deepening into a look of disbelief, “Have you lost your mind?”
I grinned, “I may not have been very memorable in life, but when I leave this earth, I promise you, my departure will bring more smiles than tears and it will be memorable.”
The first story I read so far that had a positive take on the prompt. Nicely written.

Bravo!!! I have Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing on my list when I pass and have to write it in my will because my kids already told me they will not play it.
