Don't bet on this. It may be sooner than you think.

My mother went in to the John Dempsey Hospital (Farmington, CT) on October 21, 2001 for a simple water removal procedure and was butchered beyond belief ... she never returned home and died on December 6, 2001. Nobody expected her to die; hence, her affairs are still up in the air.

Some advice: read their Will ASAP, and if changes are to be made, make sure you get a reputable attorney, and make sure the wording is RIGHT! Let me tell you, when there's a "body," all the VULTURES come out, like the one I'm dealing with now, my greedy, conniving, ugly bitch sister who should be shot in the head for the good of mankind. She would call my mother a "sick bitch" to her face and not lift a finger to help her. Make sure all those mentioned in your parent's Will DESERVE to be there. You have absolutely NO IDEA what it's like to probate a vague Will!

Stay with your parents as long as you can and tend to their needs. They deserve the very best you can give. Understand how they must feel "Waiting for God." I know all about "senior-citizen" aches and pains, especially the confusion part; however, when they're gone, you'll know it all too well.

I miss my folks so much it hurts.
