Circles....

To keep myself organized, I have a file folder that I drag around with me to hold my to-do lists, documents, bills, etc.  I've been managing the estate of my late friend Lori, who passed away a year ago.  To close the estate, there were a few final aspects to address, and I've had to keep certain legal papers with me, including her death certificate.  Incidentally, I've also had Evelyn's birth certificate with me so we could order her passport.  I opened my file folder the other day and there was Lori's death certificate on the left, and Evey's birth certificate on the right.  It was so surreal.

Lori was always telling me to "Go have a baby, you need a baby, and I don't mean adoption, you have to go through the whole thing, the pregnancy and all that."  I never got to tell her that I was pregnant.  She included me in her will, and my intention is to put the inheritance into a 529 fund for Evey's future education.  Lori would approve.
