I had the rather unpleasant task of helping write an obituary this last weekend. I was going to write a long post, but it isn't really necessary. What are you doing right now that people will remember you for? Maybe it is just existing.....And crushing people in AGF Fantasy Football.

Being of an age where I've written a couple, and can foresee myself being the subject at some point, I've been pondering that territory.

On one hand I think it's a bit pointless, on the other hand I know the survivors want to grieve your passing, celebrate your life, and possibly make some sense of it. But I'm thinking the essentials of my time here could be boiled down to "He defined himself as a musician, and also loved family, brisket barbecue and a well-made glass of iced tea."

My heirs have been warned: if there is an obit, their inheritance goes to charity instead of to them.
It is so stipulated in my will. :)

Write it myself. Leave clues to where the treasure is buried.

Hopefully, I can slink off into a forest and no-one will even be able to prove where i went.

- I''m doing my best.
- When I fall, I get up, dust off and get back to it.
- I know and appreciate that I am loved and. I don't take that for granted.

'Don't know if that helped.

Guys, this is a good opportunity to take a second to reflect on a moment when somebody said or did something that had a significant impact on your life - or maybe it's something you said or did, unwittingly or otherwise. You just never know.

This is not a post hijack. Let's stick to the OP but a moment of reflection would be a moment well spent.

Not a thread hi-jack at all Tommy. In fact the whole reflection thing was the main idea behind it. You just worded it more betterer.
