    Thank you for this.

    After recent conversations with both my son and grand daughter, I am beginning the process to put not only OUR affairs in order, but Mine as well.

    My greatest fear is dying before him or becoming incapacitated such that I cannot care for him myself.

    Later can become sooner in the blink of an eye.
