So Sad

Today I read a will that made me sad.  The man wrote in his will that when he died all of his diaries were to be placed in his coffin at his feet and were to be buried with him.  Can't imagine taking the time to write about your life only to have them sealed up forever.  How sad for his posterity.  My diaries may not be worth reading but I definitely wouldn't want them hidden away.  Who knows, someone may be able to read something that was written that could be helpful to them some day--at least I hope that would be the case!
