Preparing a Will was one of the most difficult things I’ve done, emotionally. It creeped me out beyond words. I have to plan for the logistics of what would happen if I die, but wow, it put me in a weird mood during the entire process.
I remember when my parents purchased their plots and caskets, my mom sent me a text with photos asked for my opinion on the ones the two she was deciding between. I yelled at her for even asking such a crazy thing!
After I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I started to take dying pretty serious. One thing I didn't want to do is leave everything up to my daughters to figure out what I wanted. I did a will a long time ago, but, recently did a living will, power of attorney, prepaid burial expenses, bought the lot, directed cremation with no concern about how fancy the container was. In fact, during the process I found a internment container that was painted and designed like a can of coffee. It had big bold lettering that said "CHOCK FULL OF NUTS". I thought it was perfect, but, my girls talked me out of it. Leave um laughing I always say. Anyway, it was a relief to have it all done, paid for and not a concern. They both thanked me as well. Love means never having to say...Sorry for those final expenses girls. I'm afraid I already spent all my money. Good luck!

PS. Fortunately the prostate cancer, although not gone away, is not progressing beyond the speed of snail, so the consensus of opinion in medical circles is that I will probably die of grouchy long before the cancer has a chance.

I hope you continue to lead a long grouchy life. But I am disappointed you decided against the coffee can looking container, I think that is pretty funny!

Me too. I just felt that I have probably embarrassed them enough in life. One more time when I couldn't even enjoy the expressions on their faces didn't seem worth the argument. Especially since I would have already paid for it, and at that point of need, they have a strong veto power that I don't think I would be able to respond too. :cool::D

I wish you didn't let them talk you out of that coffee can! :hilarious:

The sad thing is that all those flowers are dead now...

I’m in love with your new camera! Keep ‘em coming!

I’m so sorry to hear about the prostate cancer. I hope you have several more decades of grouchiness :)
The casket sounds hilarious! I almost wish you would have picked it.lol.

I met with my financial advisor when T was an infant to discuss many things, but mainly what I need to do to protect/take care of him
If something happened to me. I ended up taking two life insurance policies as well.. a higher term policy, and a lower whole life policy. Being a sole parent I need everything straightened out in the event that he would be left without me before becoming an adult.
It’s a scary thought.. but I do take comfort that he would be taken care of. It’s also a time when you think ‘oh my, is this really what I will be spending over the next 21 years?!’

I've got yearly trips planned for a while, too.

2018- September
2019- September
2020- February (kid turns five at Magic Kingdom?)
2021- January

After that, we'll see if she's still into it. She'll probably be out of her princess stage by then, but maybe will have fun on rides. Who knows.
All of these are Disney trips?
