Who knows the important highlights better than you? My husband was like your dad, the obituary section was the first part of the paper he opened. I'm sure your dad would like what you wrote, you were such a loving daughter. <br /><br />I'm a straight arrow, too, so maybe we both use our imaginations when we want to do Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-30978723132903070522013-09-26T18:54:25.849-04:002013-09-26T18:54:25.849-04:00Before she died, my aunt told me that she had writ...Before she died, my aunt told me that she had written her obit. I forgot to ask my cousins if they used her words when she died, or if they even knew she had written it. Dad loved a good obit better than just about anything. I made sure it was long enough and had a good pic. I think he would have approved.<br /><br />I've always dreamed of being a second story man... um... woman.

The lectures you attend have more interesting people than the ones I've been going to.<br /><br />I like what your obit would say. That's a worthy goal and accomplishment---I have no doubt your blog has been doing that for some time now. <br /><br />I've been writing half the day on my spoof obituary and having a lot of fun doing it.

You know, I went to a concert this afternoon; the average attendee's age was 70, but of course, I zeroed in on the forty year old crocodile biologist. His invitation was to tour central South America, and of course I'm considering it :-)<br /><br />Our obituaries might read "We didn't die until we were good and ready, and GowitheFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842273685414939160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-88376719260158467062013-09-22T18:47:15.246-04:002013-09-22T18:47:15.246-04:00I'm glad I connect with you, Awkward Widow. So...I'm glad I connect with you, Awkward Widow. Sometimes I think it's time to end this blog and go on to other things. Other times I think I get so much insight into myself by writing that it would be hard to stop writing here.

I have written my obituary--mine is not too exciting and brief--they charge by the word you know!!!!! I use that as an excuse for my not so fascinating life.
