Just yesterday I received a message that someone had died in
the shower. He must have had a stroke while taking his shower. That was a very
sudden and unexpected exit.
Next came a message telling one how not to begin a shower by
pouring water on the head. That could cause a stroke. The right way is to wet
yourself from the feet up.
I wonder how many of us senior citizens ponder the question
of when and how. I often do. I also
wonder what would happen to my websites, my FB wall and pages and my books on
amazon.com
When I’ve exited, how will my online friends know? My
children don’t live with me except for one but she’s not familiar with my
websites or FB pages. She wouldn’t know what to do with them and the others
have no idea of my websites or my books.
Perhaps they would exist until the hosting expires and the
websites sink into oblivion. My online friends would wonder what had happened
to me. I guess they would soon realise that I had really disappeared off the
face of the earth.
What would happen to my laptops? There is a wealth of
information in them and thousands of photographs. Would they know to delete it
all before giving them away?
Perhaps I should begin writing a list of what to do,
including the instructions of how to do it, upon my demise, so that one of my
children could do the necessary, tidying up after me, closing accounts,
announcing my passing online so that my friends will not wonder about my
disappearance.
Hmmm, it will be quite a long list!!
