Pick Your Euphemism...

Do you ever wonder what people will say about you after you die? I do. All the time. Call it morbid...but I'm always picturing my close friends and loved ones in heated debates over my true character and who I truly was...

Will people use little euphemisms to plant little hidden messages in my obit? Will anyone spontaneously burst into tears at the thought of a moment or laugh we once shared? Or will people just say, "she was nice...but no one really knew who exactly she was..."?

I always say "I have no fears"...but the truth is (and this is so weird that I feel comfortable revealing this to an infinite number of unknown individuals rather than someone close to me...but that's another entry...): my biggest...and maybe my only...fear is that when I die, no one will even remember I was here.

What's my euphemism? "She was disarming."
