Obituaries

Relax. This isn't about anybody in particular who has died - or whose death is imminent.

Our family reads obituaries. First, of course, to see if anyone we know has died. And because sometimes the obits are interesting, sometimes they're creative. And sometimes they're hysterically funny.

The other day, Jean sent us an obit from the Nashville paper. We didn't know the deceased, but the lady had obviously been aware she didn't have much more time. She obviously wrote her own obituary.

Have you ever thought about writing your own obit?
What would you say?
How long would you want it to be?
What people would you like to mention?
What things do you think are important that people know about you?
What would you like people to remember about you?
What things would you NOT want said about you?
What plans would you want for your funeral?

Just some random thoughts...........
