One day even MLK jr. will be forgotten as time rolls on, so why should I care? What is the point of a legacy when the human experience is utterly pointless?

Touched my heart. I've been thinking of the victims of the tornadoes in the south the last couple of days. This morning I heard of a baby who was found face down but unharmed in a field, but his/her mother was killed. I wonder if writing a letter like this, blogger or not, would be a good thing to do for all of us. Seems really morbid, and yet...would be nice to have the last word. <em>Gretchen "Heartaday"'s last blog post..<a href='http://heartaday.wordpress.com/2007/12/26/heart-100-heart-agate/#comment-516' rel="nofollow">By: Joe Cheray</a></em> Very well written and thought-provoking blog entry.

Toward the very end, he called my husband and apologized for all that had gone wrong between them. He apologized for neglecting our daughter. My husband accepted his words with love. That was his final blog post. It's very important to find those words and leave them.

How easy it is to get caught up in life's whirlwind and forget what's really important. There is certainly something surreal about considering one's mortality. Halfway throught your post I remembered what I'd heard about the prepared Britney obit and then you mentioned it further down. I think I've found an even more disturbing example: there is some sort of viral meme circulating to guess singer Amy Winehouse's death date. There's a widget to post on blogs that records your vote and promises an iPhone to the winner. How shameful. <em>Vivienne's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EavesdropWriter/~3/222789241/fried-chicken-in-white-house.html' rel="nofollow">Fried Chicken in the White House</a></em> Oh this really makes me pause for a moment and take heart.
