DEAR ABBY: I am a 41-year-old gay man who has survived the AIDS virus for almost 19 years. I recently had a bad health scare and realized there was so much I wanted to say to people. It occurred to me that I should write my own eulogy. I'm not sure if that's appropriate or just self-indulgent.
I'd appreciate your thoughts. A positive attitude has been my strength. -- "WATCH ME FLY" IN PALM SPRINGS
DEAR "WATCH ME FLY": If you would like to write your own eulogy, by all means do so. You won't be the first to do it, and it's a surefire way to assure your message gets across -- especially if it's videotaped.
P.S. I hope your "flight" is long delayed and you have many more good years in Palm Springs.
