Last Will and Testament

I really don’t like these things. Just the sound of it sends shivers down my spine. Anxiety creeps in and tries to ruin my whole day and outlook on life. I don’t want to die! I don’t want to leave yet, I’m not done with life! I didn’t finish my bucket list, I didn’t even check off the top ten yet!

Recently, I had to get mine done. It is a service provided by my union so I literally had to do it. I can’t let a provided service go to waste, it’s just not in my blood. I met with the attorney initially and he asked me questions, I answered them, and I went on my merry way. That was ok I thought. But wait, that’s not all. Six weeks later, it comes in the mail, in print! Now I have to check it over and make sure there’s no mistakes! Augh! I have to relive it again?!  Today, I had to review it, check over it, rethink it, make sure it is what I have decided, make changes if needed, and review it with my own personal attorney if I wish. I trust them, but I trust my friend Alex a bit more, just because I know him better. By the way, thank you Alex, you have helped me in more ways than one in my life and I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it with me.

Anywho, I hope I made the right decisions. I hope I don’t cause any ill will with the people I leave behind. I wish I could stay and love on all my family, my daughter, my husband, the grandchildren I don’t have yet (and in no hurry girls!) I hope I have done well by my family, friends, co-workers, children I’ve taught, people I’ve run into, church friends, strangers I’ve smiled at, animals I’ve loved, and I hope I don’t leave a mess for anyone to clean up! Please forgive me if I have done you wrong. I am enjoying my time on earth and I hope you do too!
