Living

Living Wills and Powers of Attorney.....Those were our tasks this morning. Husband and I are certainly old enough that we should have done this long ago. Somehow it is like the shoemaker's children who have no shoes. In this case it is the lawyer whose family have no living wills. Well we took care of that, and it is done now. .

Of course, we made each other our health surrogate and gave power of attorney to each other. If we are unable to serve, our son, age 31, is designated. I feel quite confident in him. One time a couple of years ago, I told him that I knew I had better be in my daughter-in-law's good graces since she would choose our nursing home. His reply, "No, she won't. I will, and I'll get the best." Just what a mother wants to hear.
