It's strange, you call your mother expecting to just talk about the weather, and mundane things. Then she says "Just listen to me." Ok, I say. So she starts talking to me about what we should do in the event that both my parents pass away and what the plan is. I don't mind having these conversations, in fact, I think my mother has been telling me what to do for this event for the last 20 years of my life.

They are changing their will from 15 years ago, because it doesn't include provisions for my baby sis K to be included in it. The net of the conversation is that I will be the executor of the will and I will be in charge of distributing the estate to my two sisters. This is fine, except I don't want to have to worry about M. M is sister who well is complicated. At age 16 when K was born, she decided that she was going to attempt suicide. I was forced at a very young age to "grow-up" as a result of this event. I drove my mother and sisters to the hospital at the age of 15 because my mother still had stitches from her C-Section. It was not legal for me to drive at the time. In any event, there will have to be a fair and equitable way to deal with her in the event of my parents deaths.

I won't have to worry about it for many years to come. It was strange the things my mother was saying today. One of the things she brought up was that she wanted us all to buy "something" as a reward to ourselves because they worked hard for their money. I kind of laughed and said, well in the event that you are both dead, we're going to be sad. She told me we'd get over it, and when we did we should buy something.

In any event, I am happy to be the Executor and take care of things, but it does put a damper on the start of my day.

Hope you're all doing well. Toodloo for now. SB
