How Does One Write His Own Obituary...


Dear Readers,

I was today going through some good old memories, I had with my Family, Some photographs I had on my Portable Drive. There were some good memories while it really lasted. But finally, I came across one picture of my Father. It was his obituary, and I had drafted it out. Seriously I started thinking of the Obituary, and it struck me. 

Who will Draft My Obituary???

Jokingly, Then I thought why not draft mine and keep it ready? I never thought about it when my days could be numbered, or my time was up...

Although I put my life in God's hands I knew he will keep me safe... 

“When I went deep into Obituary preparation, I deeply thought about having something like this ready on hand because you just never know when things are going south or anything to go the wrong way in your life.” 

Seriously, I thought that maybe I might be the best spokesman for myself, and write my own Obituary!!!”

When I wrote my Father's Obituary. I really couldn't believe it, me writing my Father's obituary, the same way I thought about myself who will write my own obituary???  

Hey, it has its benefits. Presumably, I know what's best for me. rather than ask someone to write about me. So I really saved my survivors an awful lot of work at a time when they would be dealing with grief — or shock of my death — and handling funeral arrangements, and a host of other unwanted tasks. Trust me in today's world, everyone will never mourn the death of a dear one. 

Preparing for the death of a dear one means it's just a favor...

I really thought about this. well, this could be possible when you have survivors, BUT when you have no one then this is an awesome way to prepare yourself before you near death & after death.

Looks like I have to prepare myself...when it comes to one of the last memories I leave behind.

“This excruciating process does require you to think about what’s important and what you want other people to know or remember about you,” but I'd rather leave it to a few words because no one cares who you and I were. We would just be a figment of everyone's Imagination...

Therefore I decided to keep it simple to the core... 

A small Eucharistic Celebration and definitely no Burial but a Cremation absolutely of course, And one piece of information in the obituary, would remain intact and that I died Peacefully & No Condolences Please.

Hehehehehe hahahahhaha

Well, I have just finished writing MINE...

Isn't it a fun way to prepare yourself before DEATH...

Thank You, Readers

God Bless You All...
