Hi,
I know it's very hard. I've been planning to do this for myself. I'm divorced single mom with two young children aged 9 and 11. I don't want to leave a burden to my family. If I arranged everything now, all they have to do is to call the funeral service to pick me up. It may sound morbid but it's reality.
I love all of you here. You guys are my second family. When I'm down, all i have to do is log on to this heavenly site.
All my love.

Hugs,
Gemma
