A little extra hot baking...
 
I doubt I'll get off the couch. It's going to be one of those days...

Today, we're talking about funeral arrangements.

Am posting this here since I don't think a lot of folks wander through this thread. Just wanted to get it out of my head.

Today, we're sitting down and discussing funeral arrangements. I think everyone should do this when you're not sick or emotional. But it's one of those things you tend not to think about until you're sick.

With ALS - or, I suppose any terminal illness - you live in a limbo of when. When does hospice step in? (Tomorrow) When does he stop eating (last week, he's being tube fed now) When will he need breathing assistance? When will he die?

Today is sunny, not too hot. Today's the day we're going to talk about his funeral.
 
My dearest cookie.
I love you. I wish I could be there to hug you and give you a shoulder to lean on.
You know you both are in my thoughts everyday.

I am always here for a friend, more so for family.

My Fellow Cafe-ians, I say we Cuddle Puddle on Cookie! What say you?
 
Even though you'll think you are, you're not giving in to anything, nor are you hanging up your happiness prematurely. Not an easy or fun conversation to have, under any circumstances. You will only have to close the shades for a minute, and when you're both done talking/everything is sorted, you can throw them back open and spend your time getting back to the things you enjoy. What's important.

Like a shitty bandage, my friend, rip that motherfucker off so you can get back to being the awesome and admirable people we ALL know you are :D

Thinking of you today..
 
Hugs Cookie!

You are so right. It's not an easy thing to do even when you're healthy, but it is necessary so there are no misunderstandings and everyone's wishes are met.
 
Will stuff.

It's important. My aunt left all her stuff to her husband on the promise he would leave it to her daughter. He announced yesterday at the funeral that he married the mother not the child and she could go whistle ( he has met someone new)

I've seen similar less overtly played in other areas of family.

We have no children but, because of my mortality feeling very close early in our relationship, we review annually for things like pet provision. There is no
'Spite' clause in my will :). Life is too short and death a long time, but I do have responsibility to the animals I have acquired.

If you have children, but no will , however much you love your partner, please arrange a will promptly. its not about stuff, sometimes it's just knowing you put them first, made provision for them and thought about new people in their other parent's life with openness, but also with your kids' needs first.

My will shall be as follows (Presuming I die in the next 10 years-ish):

Somebody feed the cat, she probably won't miss me anyway.
Give everything to a charity shop except the penguin.
Give the penguin to somebody old.
It will fit in perfectly with them.
Burn whatever's left.
Caio.
