In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail—not the tail that wags the dog.
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
Last night, I went to the wake of my neighbor. He was 45. His wife looked numb. It was so unexpected. I didn't plan on staying long. I don't like attending funerals. The wife would tell me how her husband died. I sat and listened. In this situation, there is nothing good to say. Silence would be the best language. As people come and go, I was trying to find the perfect opportunity to leave. I found it when a relative of her husband engaged her in a conversation.
Instinctively, I searched for news about Farrah Fawcett. She too had gone to her final destination. The poster girl of my time....... Who would think she'd die so soon. The lady with the radiant smile was always so full of life. I was one of the girls who mimicked Farrah's famous locks, very popular among high school girls way back then.
My friends in college expressed their sadness about the news of the deaths of these two celebrities in our e-group. These were the stars we grew up with. One commented that it serves as a grim reminder of our own mortality. Sooner or later, we would all go.......
