Preparing For The End


I never thought that I would be this old. I always wanted to be married and have a family. I am so happy that I have that. I guess it comes to WHAT'S NEXT? I never really looked that far into the future. My crystal ball stopped at young children. Well we all know how that works out. They grow up. I always thought that my grandparents would always be there and so would my parents and that I would stay at a respectable age, boy how that bubble burst quickly. Chris and I have just finished our Living Trust. It is the best and the worst of times. It feels great to know that our children will be taken care of when we are gone, but we have to think of being gone. Not so fun when you have so much left to do or you think that you do. However it is done and as my mom has said now we can put it away and have a great life. My feeling on a Living Trust is that everyone needs to have it. It is better than a Will and for me helps me to choose what I want for my family. Also with this event we got more life insurance. Wow what a wake up call this was. How much each one of us does and how no amount of money can fill those tasks. I love my family, they mean the world to me. I want my kids to know that I am doing this for them and their future. I know they don't fully understand this right now. I sure didn't but know it is off to have a great life with one less stress.

Yes! Good job! Now get on with what YOU want out of YOUR life. You're in charge. Go for it. The righteous me first. Take care of yourself, fill your bucket, and serve others. Lots of good choices. You guys will know. Love ya lots. I'm thankful that we all have each other forever.

I'm impressed with your thought process and your writing. It is actually very inspiring to hear my "child" talk about her personal experience. You have come miles from where I last saw you in May 08. You are responsible, mature, caring, nurturing, loving, and most of all unselfish in your daily walk. I love you and am very proud (humbly) to be your dad. What a nice person you turned out to be.
