A Prayer For Lady Margi

:crazy::crazy: Well with the recent 'hacker' troubles here on MA, I some how missed Nathan's message to us all about the problem. As I couldn't get access to MA(stupidly, I hadn't written down my site issued pass word) I sent him an email that went who knows where but which obviously he didn't get. So I sent a 2nd one that was showing my mistaken belief that I was being kept from using the MA site. Nathan, always the nice guy, explained things to me and gave me a pass word that I can easily remember. I have apologized to Nathan but I feel that I should apologize to all of the MINIacs here on MA. Nathan, definitely one of the 'good guys'.
Now on to Lady Margi. Home Hospice(remember this generic name in case you have friends who are terminal and want to die at home) came by today and enrolled Margi. Their scope of care is very broad and they help in ways that most of us haven't even thought of. They take call 24hrs a day and are truly 'angels of mercy'. Margi's care is now palliative as nothing else can be done other than keeping her as comfortable as possible. She's a very brave Lady and is handling this well. Her 'Ladies Night Out' group came by today and they were laughing, joking, and reminiscing about old times. They've all been friends and run around together since grade school. Their visit was so kind and good for Margi. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

For Now, Life Goes On,

To Margi and me it's not crass at all but good advice from some one who cares. To all who (God Forbid) may have to face this situation, the following things done before hand prevent much grief after the passing of the loved one. These are just things that we did and may not be correct for every one. Margi passed out her possession's meant for children and grand children in person and before passing thereby preventing most post passing bickering. She also got the joy of doing this, it really gave her happiness and contentment(done her heart good, as it were). I visited the funeral home and have everything set up as to Margi's wishes and she planned the entire service. I got a double wide plot and stone again agreeable to both of us. The life insurance policy was gone over and made correct to Margi's wishes and the welfare of all with good priorities set. Her wishes as to real estate etc were gone over and will be done as to priorities, her wishes and the welfare of all. Some people who may be afraid and/or in denial just cannot face these things before hand but gentle explanation by trusted loved ones can usually over come this. Always remember that a gentle, understanding, and caring attitude can over come the loved one's lonely, why me(?), and angry/hopeless disposition.
Thanks to all for the prayers, good vibes, positive thoughts and good advice. Y'all are great.

:cornut: You're a wise and caring Gentleman. The children will not be left 2nd guessing themselves and arguing as to whether they did things the way 'Dad would have wanted'. Just drive on soldier, you 'dunnit' right.

:cornut: I gave Lady Margi a ride in MINI Margi today but alas, even just around the block is too much for her. With Sport Suspension, 14lbs wheels, and non run flat tires, the stiffness of the suspension is just too much for her. She told me while smiling that she was so glad that I was able to get MINI Margi prior to her(Lady Margi's) passing. As my tears flowed she kept smiling. :sad::sad:
