How else could she have died?
There was a headline that made laugh on Yahoo's homepage this morning. The story it references isn't funny: it's about the world's oldest blogger (108) dying in Australia.
Of course she died after making her final post! She can't very well keep writing them. Shakespeare died after writing his last play, I'd bet. I believe Beethoven died after his final symphony. This is the sort of knowledge you accumulate by being a music major!
My initial thought was that perhaps she died immediately following her last entry. That time line would have given credence to the terms used to describe her death. It turns out, though, that her last post was on June 26 and she died on July 12.
Farewell, Internet! for this is my final post. Until the next one.

ReplyDeleteAnother way of looking at this could be similar to that of the glass half-full / half-empty adage. It may very well be true to say she moved on BEFORE her last post.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note: Good for her being tech savvy enough to not only use computers, but to create blog entries!
May we all retain our health and mind when we are 107 and a half.
