8. What Would You Write in Your Obituary Today?

Post by smkelly »

In the introduction to the novel, Bud poses the following question: “What would you write if you had to write your obituary? Today, right now.What comes to mind? What memories, days, moments? What people and experiences?”

How would you answer this question?

"Gabriela lived her life with love in the lead. As the oldest of eight siblings, she worked every day to pave the way for people that she loved, always aiming to make life a little easier for someone else. An avid reader, she was passionate about access to books and education, and passed along that love of reading and learning to her two sons. Other hobbies included (but were not limited to) painting and drawing, climbing trees, identifying plants, hiking, singing, dancing, and finding local treasures to explore and appreciate. Gabriela actively sought out the magic in the mundane, and hopes to live on in her loved one's general appreciation of The Little Things."
