Eulogies

The Fairy's Funeral by John Anster Christian Fitzgerald
I've recently read a few books on death, and spirituality.  The end result being that now I'm thinking of eulogies for people I care about in case they were to die tomorrow. Some people are a lot harder than others.  I'm thinking of what I'd say whether the person be old or young.

It's both alarming and amusing to me that I'm doing this.  However, at the same time perhaps it's a good thing.  Really what I ought to do is tell the people how I feel about them in person.  Perhaps thinking of their eulogy will help me do that.  Not in the immediate future though.  For now I'll just continue keeping my feelings to myself.  One day, if you're lucky, I'll tell you your eulogy in person.  I suggest staying alive for a pretty long time though.  It'll be a while before I have the courage to tell you.
