Write a short story or poem about it. Or write your obituary.

THE OBIT, WITH MY PICTURE IN IT, WOULD READ:
"If you are reading this obituary with your name on it, no, it's not another person with the same name -- it is you. You're dead, buddy. I'm sorry to tell you this way, but you were such a loyal newspaper reader. You'd go and get the newspaper everyday from your front stoop religiously, and you died in your sleep of an aneurysm (no, it wasn't a headache and the aspirin you took before bed didn't help -- they just made you bleed out quicker). But it's also ironic, you being a loyal newspaper reader. Because each day when you were engrossed with this newspaper, reading about events in places like Hong Kong and Guatamala, stocks and sports, you were ignoring your beautiful wife, who really loved you. Your kids are about to go to college and you barely know them. You missed out on so much, buddy, because you were wrapped up in your little world. Now turn around. TURN AROUND. That's me behind you. I'm Satan, who you surely have read about before. You're going with me. And you can't take the paper with you. It's a FINAL EDITION. Hahahaha!"

The person who answered all the dirty questions on Yahoo!Answers till yesterday is no more. He was 56. He is survived by a wife and two sons. He has reached level 4, but failed to reach level 5 during his life time. If only he survived for a few days more he would have reached the level 5. With his exit, the communityof Yahoo!Answers is reduced by one in number, not that it made any difference to the quality of Yahoo!Answers. All the same, the overall number of Yahoo!Answers has not been reduced. There were several new entrants to make up for the loss of an old member.
May boring Yahoo!Answerers meet the same fate as the one who passed away now. May God bless them and bear them all for Himself! He is capable of bearing any number of boring fellows like this.

It would mean that my husband and I were now together in the stars.
Here is something I have often thought I would want said as part of my obituary, but I did not write it.
I did not die
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am a gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am the birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
So do not stand on my grave and cry
I am not there.... I did not die

This actually happened to my grandfather about 10 years before he died. People came to pay condolences to my grandmother and were quite surprised when he answered the door. He got a good laugh out of it. At least he learned he was remembered by a lot of people.
It was a case of mistaken identity...someone with the same name.

I was prepared to indulge in some gallows humor; but Imaka's touching and eloquent response gave me a good rap on the knuckles.
