My Living Will

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Second Self Virtual Assistance

My living willLast night, my family and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.  If that ever happens, just pull the plug."

They got up, unplugged my computer and threw out my wine.

They’re such jerks!

Heather - think they were trying to tell you something?  Whenever my kids call me, they claim they can always tell if they've interrupted me while on the computer.  I'm sort of only halfway tuned in to them then, the other half is still focused elsewhere.

It is hard to give forgiveness when the libation has been discarded.

Heather,
They're not jerks, just have a sense of humor? lol.  That reminds me, way back when I asked my aunt (around the same age as me) to bring me some water.  She knew I wanted a glass of water to drink but she brought me a pitcher full without the glass.  I took one look at the pitcher and one look at her and we both started laughing.  Said her to me, "I didn't know how much water you wanted to drink".

Hi Heather, I didn't see that one coming.  Too funny, but hooked up to a machine...oh so true. What would we do without our computers?

Heather,  That was great and not at all what I was expecting.  I think that it fits for many of us.

Too cute! Years ago, when my kids were early and late teens, we were having a casual conversation, and the topic of pulling the plug came up.  One son said, "PULL it! I do not want to live like that!", the other said, "NO WAY! You never know what they will discover!".  I thought to myself, "I hope I never need this info, but it is good to have".  About 10 years later, we were talking about it again, and they each said, "I never said that!" Go figure....
