Hi Mitzy,

My MM gave his best friend, (who is an attorney), an envelope to be opened in the event something happened to him. In the envelope are instructions on how to find me, so I won't be left wondering.

My oldest daughter knows my MM and his screenname, so if something were to happen to me, she would let him know.

I'm sure there are other ways of handling things. Paying an attorney a retainer, (as little as a dollar), assured his silence and provides a means for important communication.

Good luck,

Wow, how wonderful of him, how he cares for you. The problem is that I read the answer from Lilah too late, it was good sound advice. I have told my sister, because we have real trust, beyond anyone. It is one of our most important gift to the other. It felt good to tell her, simply because she now understands me more. And asks how things are. I was and am happy she knows. I will know if something happens to him, but maybe weeks later, or months. BUT I honestly think I would feel it........

I was bumping the rules, because I needed to read them again... We should make them part of the welcome aboard letter.

Mitzy
