"Parting is such tweet sorrow..."



During Dying Matters week in May, Dying Matters asked what your final Tweet would be if you could write it now. We've blogged about what happens to your Twitter acount when you die, but if you could predict your very last Tweet before you die what would it be?

They got back a real mish mash of funny, heartfelt and pop culture responses. A lot of people felt they couldn't top the late Spike Milligan's epitaph of "I told you I was ill". Some of our favourites were:

"Parting is such tweet sorrow"
"You all know I have a small fortune hidden away but you don't know where. Well, I'll tell you. It's in..."
"The coffee pot is cold, the jokes have all been told. Goodbye to all the souls who sailed with me the longer way" (Billy Bragg's 'Goodbye, Goodbye')"

They even had responses from celebrities and MPs such as Stephen Fry and Alistair Campbell.

Search the hashtag #FinalTweets on Twitter to see what other people said.

Even though Dying Matters week is over, our work continues all year round - so we'd like to extend the question: what would your final Tweet be? Let us know over at @Bucket_Project!
