Creating my own obituary was not easy. Many thoughts ran through my head. I did not know if I wanted to write my obituary like if I died today or if I wanted to do it like I die many years from now. I also did not know what type of death I wanted to put in the obituary. Did I want it to sound like a peaceful death or a drastic one? It was hard to evaluate myself about how I wanted to be remembered. It was hard to give myself credit for the things I have done because I do not like to praise myself; my belief is that other people should give testimony about the things I have done.
However, the experience of having to think about how I wanted to be remembered allowed me to analyze about the things I am doing now and the things I should be doing. Many thoughts crossed my mind while I was writing my obituary. I thought of my children and my spouse, and the pain they would experience if I die today. I thought about the financial burden I would leave to my family if I died today as
