Rainy Day Planning

YEP, that is exactly what we are doing on this quiet, rainy day; preparing plans for our 'funeral', gathering vital paperwork that we have no idea where we put it last, and making that list of things to do for the people left behind. That is what all this planning is about anyway...for the people we love that will be left behind. We can no longer be selfish and sad as that serves no positive purpose for getting anything together and for the work that needs to be done upon our death. We both want things to go smoothe for our family and friends that is why we have made a list of things to be updated asap, money to stash to pay those nasty bills and creating another list of how I wish my peronal items to be dispursed between our children. It will be hard enough to go through the items, the pictures, the old letters but if created as a fun event, which it should be, then things will not be as sad. I need to do this and now. My health is declining and I need for my girls to know 'what comes next'. I do not want any surprises. I do not want a traditional funeral but a celebration of those things and people I love and cherish. Cremation is my choice of exiting from the living with my ashes scattered among various family in the south and the remaining in the forrest of the Cumberland Mts. Make sure my hubby is part of my planning; he has been a jewel of a human being for over 40 years...God I Love That Man of Mine! So there, not too difficult to make some plans; how 'bout it!? Join us on a rainy day and we'll help with those end of life plans we all need for our family. They will appreciate our actions more than we realize.
