"Turn my face to it once more," he whispered: and as they raised him, he inclined his ear to listen.

If I should ever have an untimely death, I want my gravestone or memorial plaque to contain the following quote front and center:

“May life treat you how you treated me.”

I want my loved ones to know that my love for them prevails after death. I want my enemies to know that my spite for them prevails after death. Only these words will do fair justice to me.

I’m fine. I just wanted to put this out there and make it public so there’s no confusion at any point.

death and executors

suggesting you name a professional, like a lawyer, to be the executor of your estate. Particularly, if it involves multiple assets and accounts. These days it’s a complex and highly detailed function that can easily confuse a grieving family member. Sure, it costs. So do mistakes made by a family member in the depth of grief and beyond their legal depth in trying to mange your estate.

I got my life insurance papers! It’s official, when I die I won’t be giving my family a sudden expense. Also means I avoid cremation. Maybe it’s my catholic upbringing, but also as an atheist I like the idea of my atoms returning to the earth. I want to up the policy to cover a green burial, (I was told it’s more like 20k and I got 10k to adjust to the expense) because embalming slows how you rot even after burial for decades. At least now I can afford to be put in the ground, and maybe in a few years I can afford to ensure it’s done without embalming.

Rich, Famous, but no sense and little "Respect".

The children of the Queen of Soul are duking it out in court to see who will take control of the late singer’s multimillion-dollar estate.

Aretha Franklin did not leave behind a formal will, but two handwritten versions were discovered in her home after she died in 2018. Yesterday, a trial began in Michigan where lawyers for two of the singer’s four sons will argue that a 2014 handwritten note—signed with a smiley face and stuffed in a sofa—counts as her last will and testament. Another son favors a different notarized document from 2010.

Both documents split Franklin’s royalties among her children and require the three competing brothers to support her fourth son, who has a disability.

But the wills differ on who gets her personal property and who takes charge of the estate.

Kecalf Franklin and Edward Franklin are vying for the 2014 document, which names Kecalf as executor and leaves him with his mother’s house, cars, jewelry, and the fur coats she’d famously let slide off her shoulders onstage. Franklin’s third son, Ted White II, favors the 2010 will that names him as executor and bars Kecalf and Edward from their inheritances until they get business degrees or certificates.

Bless this poor lady. Bless her two children. I think about things like this all the time. Like, what memories am I leaving my daughter and family with? What will they say about me when I'm gone when people ask What kind of person I was? What am I leaving behind for my daughter when I go, so that she has something tangible to see and hold and look at and say, 'That's my mom'. Something that when she holds it and sees it she won't think about how much she misses me, she'll think of how much I love her. How much I love her even before she was born. How I waited for her for so long and only ever wanted the best for her.

I love you baby.
