Anybody think about their own mortality?

Do your loved ones a favor and create a will or at least write down your wishes and then give them each a hug and tell em you love em cuz you never know when your times up.

Sorry for your loss, AJ. I'm going to a service tomorrow for my future son-in-law's aunt who died last Saturday. She went for a physical every year and had no symptoms, but was diagnosed with Stage 4 uterine cancer on April 13. She was 52.

While I don't technically have a "plan" for my cards, my wife is aware of the short list of people with whom I routinely communicate about my cards. In addition to that, there is a list of dealers (which I will hopefully keep current) that my kids can deal with if they decide no one wants to hold on to the cards.

These days I'm all about family dinners, family vacations (we're all going to Ireland this summer), and having the kids down to our shore house as much as possible. They're going to miss me when I'm gone, but I'll probably miss them more.
