Last night I was trying to get the kiddos some health insurance. We had some but apparently Gaetan makes to much (which is ridiculous) and we've saved to much money so they took away the kids health insurance. ugh. So, I was online last night to see if they qualified for anything else, and I think that they do. We will have to pay a monthly fee but it is quite do able... and seeing how active they are, we're gonna need it!
But that got me to thinking... I know that Gaetan and I have discussed what are wishes are regarding if the other one can't make decisions, and we've talked with a few other people (like my parents) but I thought that it would be a good idea to write it down. Now, I know it isn't an official document, but at least we have something in writing just in case.
It's was a bit morbid and made me feel a bit uneasy writing instructions down on what we would like to happen with the kids if we should both die, but it's something that needs to be done. We've also talked about what we want done with our bodies, and how we feel about life support etc. They are hard conversations to have, but we both realized that we would rather know what the other person wanted, than be left guessing after the tragedy had already occurred.
It just gives you a perspective on how quickly things can change and, of course, you are never ready. But, I figured we could try and be as prepared as possible for something like that. I don't think that there would be any problems with who got custody of the kids, because, like I said before, we've discussed with all parties involved what we would want to happen, and even a back up plan. Just makes you think. Are you living your days to the fullest? Are you loving like Jesus would love? What are you pouring into the people around you? Garbage? or Life? Just something to think upon.
