When my days are finally winding down and I am nearing the end, lying in bed surrounded by loved ones, I implore them all to lean in to hear my final message. When they’re all within earshot I was smiling the last smile and muster up the energy to depart this world. I clear my throat, lean forward put my hand on Erica's shoulder and gently whisper.....

'Tag. You're it.'

I had a game of tag going with a classmate for maybe years in elementary school. Inspired by The Wonder Twins, I'd say "activate" when I tagged him and he'd say "deactive" when he tagged me. A few years ago when he sent a friend request on Facebook, it was SO tempting to friend him, message him the word "activate," and then defriend him. But I was worried he wouldn't remember.
