She asked me this question many times in the 10 months she had left. Up until the last two weeks I would look at her and say, "Well, yeah...but not this week." We would talk about what it was she wanted to deal with this week.<br /><br />About two weeks before she died, and she asked me the usual question, I stopped...and thought a minute, and I said, "Yeah, and we're getting close to the real deal now. What is it you think you need to do TODAY?"<br /><br />It was only then she had any desire to intimate any of her "last minute instructions" for me. And I still laugh at one of them...<br /><br />"And make sure your name is on all the accounts as well as your mother's, because she goes through money like shit goes through a goose."<br /><br />LOLKirkepiscatoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651684515435040529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948195760517749367.post-61453574053512363332010-11-29T10:35:28.516-05:002010-11-29T10:35:28.516-05:00You have given me reason for pause and thought.

There is however, great angst at the thought of someone close to me passing. To say that phrase to someone, especially someone as close as a spouse....well, I can't even begin to imagine. Kudos to you for the work you do.

However, one of my other inner voices said, "STOP this is NOT your exercise." (I think David would have switched you if he wanted to.)<br /> Taciturn did lean over and give you a kiss on the cheek after he answered your question and before turning to M.<br />It was a powerful exercise.VTcronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741867296724712013noreply@blogger.com
