THE FINAL DEED

This task is one I have put off for some time thinking I will get to it tomorrow, then another year goes by.  We all live in denial about when the end might come.    I'm not sure how many times I have sent off for literature on the topic of what I want done after I depart this world to save my children from dealing with it all.   In many ways it is unbelievable that we have to buy a one way ticket to leave this world in peace.   Two things for sure in this life are death and taxes.   The other day a representative with the Neptune Society called me based on information I requested and talked me through the process, informing me of discounts and benefits for being a veteran, plus allowing monthly payments with no finance charge.  It was painless.  First of all, he asked me if I had access to my email account on my phone and I replied yes, but first let me find my phone, then I realized it was in my hand.   He did not comment, but probably thought this guy could go at any minute.  I could only laugh at myself.    After it was all said and done I asked the question, "what happens if I die before the balance is paid\off?"  He replied that my children would be charged the balance.  Don't worry kids, I plan to pay it off soon.   The peace of mind is worth it.
