A living will. Three words that are incredibly loaded with meaning. A living will. I say these again because they are incredibly important to anyone who has children. While I do not like to think of my husband and I departing this earth and leaving M alone, it is something that we do need to think about. So many hard decisions to make that would not only affect her future, but the future of my family. M is so very lucky, as she has quite a few people who would gladly accept her into their lives if hers comes crashing down. While thinking of all these generous people, I suddenly fell as if I'm thrust into Beaches and Raising Helen. A good friend told me that no matter who we choose to have custody of Madysen, we will hurt someone. This statement could not be more true. If I pick my sister, will I offend my in-laws? If I pick my brother, will I offend my sister? One thing I know for sure, I don't want to tell anyone of our decisions unless we have to. Why cause drama if I don't need to. Don't get me wrong, we are so blessed that so many people love M as much as we do.
And with that, I can't come up with a good closing argument, so, jury's out and a decision will be made.
Toodles.
