It's hard being the 'chosen one' in these matters.<BR/><BR/>Patsy - I was always the trusted, responsible, sensible, practical one. And you're right, it is an honour to be able to serve them in this way, to represent them when they can't represent themselves. Thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Oh Deb, that sister takes the cake! I'd have been tempted to tell her not to bother then, because she wouldn't be missed! Hugs<BR/><BR/>Ian - I'll be halleluja'ing all over the place when this is finally over and I hope nothing else crawls out of the woodwork. Mind you when this part is done and settled I still have an asshole to go after re the loan (now documented in the tax form) and an arrogant lawyer to report! ;)<BR/><BR/>George - I hope everything is going well in George-land :) Why thank you for that lovely comment (blush). Yes, it's hard, but necessary and I know that part of my peace with my parents is being there for them, then and now.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727596416170770024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-82409013988904369672008-04-23T07:56:00.000+08:002008-04-23T07:56:00.000+08:00Hi Fiona ...

What you are doing for your parents is a terribly difficult thing in my opinion. But you do it with love.<BR/><BR/>I guess your siblings follow a different God than youGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369924981153052978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-50733931408620067672008-04-23T07:08:00.000+08:002008-04-23T07:08:00.000+08:00Glad to see it's all coming together Fi.

And I asked. <BR/><BR/>My one sister tells my Mum that she "wants her quarter", of the estate. It sickens me. She even made a comment to my mother about how expensive it would for her to fly back for my Mum's funeral. Tacky doesn't even begin to describe my sister, who by the way is a millionaire. <BR/><BR/>So take care, you're not alone, we all have fucked up families:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-61813590307426765572008-04-22T21:57:00.000+08:002008-04-22T21:57:00.000+08:00Siblings.

Sad their focus is clearly on their sleeves; however, it truly demonstrates that your parents knew which one of their children they could trust implicitly and there is no greater honor than that. <BR/><BR/>My brother would be no different focusing solely on the bottom line benefiting him :(patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126772970187670156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30724218.post-87191655436330827722008-04-22T16:16:00.000+08:002008-04-22T16:16:00.000+08:00Yes, I've already had "inquiries" from my sister a...Yes, I've already had "inquiries" from my sister about how she feels things should be divided, knowing my mom has removed her from the will, but my sister doesn't know that my mom has given me intruction on how she wants me to split it up, and I haven't looked forward to the day I would have to tell my sister that. But now I'm wondering who's going to live longer, as my sister and mom are both in poor health...Fusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478465297213819613noreply@blogger.com
