Estate closure service - I want to be like dad

You may not realize this yet but I have. My life on this earth is not infinite. My birth certificate didn't come with an expiration date, which doesn't mean I dont' have one it just means I don't know when it is.

I also know that no amount of money will make a difference. If you have $100 or $100M we all still have the same end result.

When I die and ultimately head to heaven, I hope that my family doesn't feel my life was a waste. I hope they aren't waiting for my insurance money or fretting over my portfolio or arguing over a piece of furniture. I hope they receive cards, letters, flowers, e-mails and text messages that overwhelm them.

I hope they hear stories of how I made a positive difference, helped someone in need or assisted a family during a crisis. I hope they hear that I was a good wife and mother, a good friend and a good business owner.

At the end of the day, I hope they have envelopes full of cards that they want to save, e-mails they want to re-read and memories that will make them smile.

In essence, I want to be just like my dad.
