We went through this when we did our wills, and we decided on my sister and then forgot to tell her for a few months.

The prompting was what happened to my Hubby's younger siblings after both parents died. Horrifying (to us) because not plan was in place. My children were no less a concern even if they had no diagnosis. <BR/><BR/>2nd answer - do what is best for relieving yourself from the struggle of who to ask - as opposed to worrying about those other people who MIGHT become your children's parents. <BR/><BR/>3rd answer - Pick someone, make the paperwork, don't talk about it. Take your trip knowing you have made preparations in the low probability of your same-time incapacitation/deaths. <BR/><BR/>4th answer - Resolve this issue further when you get home, safely. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy your trip.

They will all miss you very much. - SEE - get out of this thought-cycle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213274210281482944.post-70633412164627006582008-12-02T20:32:00.000-08:002008-12-02T20:32:00.000-08:00I don't even know what to say.

I know that I personally have discovered that children with disabilities are wonderful and not as difficult as they may appear.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.com
