Just today I phoned in to a conference call about family finances.
Since my mother's death, I have had access to resources that I could not ask about before.
The finance specialist brought up some things that were done before he was hired,
and I was able to say, Yes, that was my uncle who made those decisions
and it caused us a lot of grief, in my generation.
Now my generation is the oldest, and we get to look back
and decide how to do things differently.
There is a freedom to this that I never anticipated,
I just expected to be limited for the rest of my life.
So the conference call was a good thing.
