I love my kids. Sometimes maybe too much (if that is possible from a mother’s point of view.) But I know that I have done a real disservice to them in a matter of what could be in their best interest. We have never made a will stating who should take care of them if something happens to my husband and I. We have worried and discussed this for sixteen years now without ever being able to come to a resolution about it and without ever being able to come to the point of writing it down and drafting it into a legal agreement with a lawyer and all parties involved.

This is a scary thought, as is the thought of not having the proper Legal Documents to make things right for our kids should we both die. I know it is not the best that we could do for them, even if we feel we cannot come to a decision that we feel is the best. It is such circular thinking that it really makes no sense.

We have spoken with friends and family members about it and yet have never come to the conclusion of who is the best to raise our kids if we are not here to do it ourselves. As our kids are now very big, we know they would likely have more to say about it. And trying to come up with the “perfect scenario” in such an instance is less important as they are big enough to take care of some things themselves.

I know and believe having a will is important, even though my actions are showing otherwise. I hope that one day we will find exactly what we are looking for in arranging such Legal Agreements and will have the courage to draft it into writing.
