Hello everyone. I really don't have a lot to talk about.
I did find out that my cousin G did leave a note behind. He
was starting to have health problems it seems. He had had
a very light stroke, needed surgery on his heart (bypasses)
and surgery on his carotid artery. G was worried that
something could happen to him and that he would have to
depend on family members to take care of him. G didn't
want to be burden on anyone.
Can you believe that? He has (had) 7 brothers and sisters
and he was afraid he would end up being a burden on them.
He did leave behind a huge burden though. They can't find
a will nowhere. He owned businesses, land -- even land in
another country, but had no will. This is going to cause huge
problems. He had told people that if anything was to happen
to him that he wanted this one nephew to take over the
business. But it isn't written down anywhere.
Guess that is a lesson for all of us. MAKE OUT A WILL.
I made one when I bought my house. Oh my house isn't
worth lots of money, nothing I own is worth all that much.
But I didn't want the government to decide who got what.
I also made a Living Will out at the same time. I urge
everyone to do that also. You never know.
Is that enought gloom and doom for one entry? I think so.
Hopefully I will have something more cheerful to write
about next time.

Sad he did that out of fear. My girlfriends husband had two arteries cleaned in his neck and a triple bypass recently and is doing fine.

your right we all need to think about wills. I hope things go well with your cousin's thing. Doesn't sound to good right now.
we ahve wills and living wills too. You reallly need one for those left behind
I think you bring up a very good point. I think that is something that I need to consider doing

That cruel little fact of life can't be pointed out too often!! I have one, but I didn't really want to do it. It made me think about death.
