Writing obituaries has made me think. The family's challenge is to sum up this person's life in so many words, and sometimes it makes their life seem rather short. "This happened, this happened, and this happened." "[Bob] married [Pat] in 1957 and they raised three children together." That's using 11 words to encompass, what, at least 20 years?
What are they going to say about me? What do I want them to say about me?
I've been thinking way too much today.
