Hi LJ family,

I'm here to see what's going on here in LJ land. I haven't been here in a while and I have missed it. LJ was my first home on the web and even though I have moved on to other homes, I have never forgotten and I want to come back more often.

My partners brother died on Saturday.  It was a complete shock.  We are all waiting for the autopsy report.  He was only 63 and no one knew of any problems other than some sleep apnea.  No time to prepare and everyone is stressed. No will, no directives, no preperations.

Lifes lesson? We should think about our family and have a plan in place.
