(31,402 posts)8. What a great idea. Who could write your obit. better than you?
It would be the most authentic representation of who you were and what you did.
Today, I found out that a man who've I known and worked with for 37 years passed this AM. We talked almost daily on business issues. In fact, I spoke with him more than just about anyone over the past 15 years. We were born on the same date, 10 years apart. He was the elder. Started back in the early 90's as my boss. Best manager I ever worked for. He let me do what I did which was bringing creative ideas to material acquisition. Later,in 2007, he came to work for my company. A better man, I have not met....
So, I'm feeling your vibes tonight.
Oh yeah, I saw my daughter at Subway today and found out her dog died yesterday. I'm on a roll.
