Emily Debrayda Phillips, a 69-year-old grandmother from Florida, died of Pancreatic cancer last month. She wrote her lovely obituary just after receiving her diagnosis in February.

From the obituary:

I was born; I blinked; and it was over.

No buildings named after me; no monuments erected in my honor. But I DID have the chance to know and love each and every friend as well as all my family members. How much more blessed can a person be?

A Florida teacher who died last month left behind one final lesson: How to say goodbye.

Emily Debrayda Phillips, 69, died on March 25 after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. She wrote her own obituary within a few days of her Feb. 24 diagnosis, leaving behind a stirring, emotional and outright funny account of childhood memories, family moments and even a few apologies.

"It pains me to admit it, but apparently, I have passed away," the former beauty queen wrote. "Everyone told me it would happen one day but that's simply not something I wanted to hear, much less experience. Once again I didn't get things my way! That's been the story of my life all my life."

RIP

People on GAF are too busy worrying about Bloodborne's load times and Hideo Kojima's career to give a damn about some awesome old lady.

I can feel my own 2 grandmas through her, "I was born, blinked and it was over", that's what they always say to me and their time is almost up, I don't know what I'll do without them, but I can only hope I get the same love and peace they have, so bravo for this Florida grandma, I hope she enjoyed her time in the sun.
