We learned yesterday that a friend of ours (my husband's age) S died in his sleep. He leaves behind a wife and two sons. The oldest son in a soph in college; the youngest, a 9th grader. Nothing can prepare you for something like this. It's just so very, very sad.
And our SS class has been ministering to another family where the dad is terminal. And yet S seemed to be the picture of health and how he's gone.
I have drafted a letter to my lawyer to get all my legal affairs in order, because you never know what tomorrow brings.
Sad.

I'm sorry for everyone's loss, yours and the family's. That happened in our community recently too. Both kids in high school.
Raymond and I thought we had all our legal stuff in order, and put off reviewing with our lawyer. When he came home in hospice he panicked Easter weekend that year and had to see an attorney. A friend of the family found us one that was willing to come to our house that weekend and go over everything we had done in the past. There was a lot of stuff that had to be updated and we had added assets that were not taken care of in the previous legal work.
So don't just do the legal work and put it away, keep it updated. It sure made my life easier once Raymond died. I would have been really struggling to get things taken care of if Raymond hadn't insisted that an attorney be called immediately.
