Emotional week got me thinking!!

A friend of mine passed away this week. Although she was quite older than me, she had been a great neighbor and confidant for the past 15 years.

Joannie lived a very simple life, her adoptive parents had already passed, she had no siblings, she was married but never had children. We only found out she was ill about 8 weeks ago and suddenly she was gone.

Joannie lived her life the way she wanted to and left the same way. She had shared with her husband of 47 years that she wanted no treatments, wanted to go to Atlantic City where she loved the slots, and wanted to die at home. Her husband is now completely alone with no family.

Upon her passing, her husband realized that she had known for quite some time that her time was coming to an end. She left him files with blueprints of each room in there house so he would be able to know where to find anything and everything.

Her affairs were all in order. She took care of him while she was alive and made sure he was going to be ok when she was gone. How many of us are ready for this? It got me thinking, how about you?
