I just had a thought… How about a surprise party where those surprised are the guests? I mean, you organize it and then invite friends over, one by one, making sure they will keep it a secret and then surprise them! I call it a “reverse surprise party”. And I can use a poll: [poll …

The Departed
We keep in our minds many people who, in different ways, have left our lives either through the front door, maybe storming out, or silently, they just slipped away. They have left us willingly or we have forced them out. Some have left us unwillingly, by dying. This is the hard truth. We are not …
Thank You, J.K. Rowling
