And of course, the first place I checked was my own home. How weird, considering I see it everyday :)<br />A touch of humour over ones ending. Although, most probably in my case, nobody will realise I'm gone. Just put me in a bag and drop me off at the local refuse site :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470877934076705573.post-87530397104175386862012-06-19T14:48:02.921-04:002012-06-19T14:48:02.921-04:00What a wonderful obit!

Oh, no, it was "make them laugh." Well that first paragraph for the obituary made me laugh! I haven't thought about my obituary, but I suppose it's time. Something simple and I think I'd like of picture of what I look like toward the end. A picture of a face that is a map of my life. Yes. That would suit me.

To honor her, a family friend wore a red dress to her Memorial Service. Most people would frown but I loved it!<br /><br />I have an award that will be posted for you in tomorrow's post.

Sophie (who is 7 years old) likes to read them. I let her as it is good for her reading and math skills (she likes to figure out how old the people are based on their birthday). <br /><br />Where did you find the great graphic at the top of the blog?

It's sad when an obit says little of who the person was, and a whole life boils down to some facts and dates.
