Kat, I read the Time Article about putting together a “When I die” file. It is very sad, but true that people put off this stuff, believing that they will do it sometime in the future, only to find out they don’t and their families have to deal with it. I have not done any of this stuff b/c I was waiting to get married and have my husband do it with me. But now that I am almost 40, maybe I should do it by myself. I am going to be in LI this weekend with Myrna, so will ask my Dad if he has done any of it for me already, but if not, I will ask if he can start planning it with me for now; I figured that I would have to do it over again if I got married, but that is getting to be a long-shot, Grandma Leyeh says, and she is still concerned I did not have a baby yet, but wants me to wait until I have a husband after hearing about all of the invitro babies whose semen and sperm both got mixed up in the freezer or in the lab.
