My brother just now received a text message asking him "Hey, when is your funeral?"
First off, what an odd question. The very concept that I, being alive, might know the date and time of my own funeral seems rather silly.
Secondly, why would you ask a dead man questions? If you truly believed I were dead, would not talking to me constitute the delusions of a deranged mind?
O.o
It brings back to mind the words of a somewhat familiar plea: If I have done something of good report or praiseworthy, don't wait until I shuffle off this mortal coil and declare it before the gathered mourners at my coffin. Tell me now so that I may know my life mattered.
