Dedication of a Park

(# 3 & 4)

If I were dedicated to a bench, I would like the bench to be in a very peaceful park. I would see the bench being dedicated to me after I die, leaving a piece of me for people to remember me by. I would see the dedication as an almost view of me continuing to live onwards past my life expectancy. I wouldn’t want the dedication to be near a playground because it is the home of the overdosed children on their sugar highs. I would want peace and serenity, not a pandemonium of nose pickers. As I see the dedication as a form of continuation of my life, I would want to be able to be somewhere beautiful as well, so that I can help people can take in the true beauty around them. I want people to use me and appreciate me for my simplicity. I want old couples to be able to sit with me and just gaze and full take in what is around themselves. I would love to be around scenery of a gorgeous lake side view with a matching beautiful horizon. On my plate, I would the bench to be dedicated to something that I have done in the future that relates with the community, my family or friends. I of course would want the plate to be positive and uplifting and to include a possible quote by myself or something that has overly inspired me. To me, I don’t see a specific dedication in mind because I don’t want a specific dedication, I truthfully don’t even know if I would want a dedication. However, if anyone did such a thing for me, I would be happy simply because they thought about me. I would be happy with that simple gesture that I was appreciated and cared for.

If I were to dedicate a bench, I would love to dedicate one to my parents. They have supported me greatly throughout my life, and I feel as if I cannot do enough for them to return the favor. At times I don’t always get along with my parents, but I would never stop appreciating what they do for me. At times I don’t like them, but I can never stop loving them. I would have the bench as well put in a much more peaceful place, away from the city, so that no graffiti, no marker, no etch of a knife can touch it. I would also like it to be near a trail, but still have a beautiful surrounding attached to the spot because of how they loved to go on walks with each other and enjoy the scenery around them. I would have the dedication plate say how much I admired them for what they have done and how strong they are from all of the troubles they’ve been through, and still being able to keep their head high. I would like to include how they met, how bumping into each other around the world time after time was surely fate. I would also like a few words from my brother included in it, but more so I would like my brother to work on the dedication with me. I would want them to have somewhat of a continuation of their life through the dedication together, this way they can both forever enjoying the scenery.
