"Ever find yourself staring at a paper laid open to the obituaries and being sad that that is what the persons life amounted to, summed up in the requisite 100 words or less? Or even that whomever ended up being saddled with the arduous task of condensing what was hopefully a lifes worth of events into mere bullet points assumed (be it correctly or not) that these were the ultimate and seemingly unfortunate highlights to fill up this arbitrary summation of a subjects life? Subject being used because they always tend to read detached and cold as the body, no matter the effort, rather coming across as a mere chore, a required acknowledgment of loss. Here's hoping some warmth and care was taken with the eulogy."
