Not telling

I'm feeling kind of down the last couple of weeks. I think it's mostly my depression is and things are changing

I think I might have ask, but can’t remember because there are a lot of people here, don’t you have siblings? If so just get lawyer that one is the administrator over you and your belongings and you might want to put a backup person also. They will have to do what is best for you in case something happens and the court will oversee and keep and eye on them I believe, then you just put notes up in your home and in your purse with your attorneys name and number with notation for them to be called. That way you just give to God and don’t think about it anymore.

Just wondering with your Mom getting worse, will you and your fur baby, I don’t know it’s name, move in to help your Dad or is their place to small?

You have us any time you feel lonely or just need to talk so don’t hesitate to come anytime day or night.

Hugs and take care of yourself
