Dan Savage's written eulogy for his mother.

i don’t even want the thought of my mom passing to cross ever cross my mind. hopefully i’ll go before she does.

After a long struggle, we had to go into my mother’s hospital room and tell her that nothing more could be done. She didn’t go into the hospital expecting to die and she was not ready to go. But she took the news with her characteristic grace. She said her farewells, asked us never to forget her (as if), and paused for a moment. Then Mom lifted an eyebrow, shrugged, and said…

“Shit.”
