Yes, we've all heard the "my name wasn't in the obituaries, that means it's a good day" joke. But in my case, during the summery of my junior year of high school, I actually saw my name in the obituary section.

There were a couple of slight differences: he was 16, I was 17 at the time, he lived about 50 miles away, and he died in a motorcycle accident (I had never ridden a motorcycle at that point in my life).

There was also a story in the "local" section about his accident.

So, I did what anyone else would do in my situation... I cut out the article and the obituary, and put them in my "random stuff to keep" drawer. I'm sure they're still laying around my parents house somewhere.
