In my parents' last years, they chose to live near me. I helped them with doctor appointments and meals and gave them their final rides to the hospitals in which they died. I was reliable, responsible, mature and steadfast. I did right by them.
After they died, they named me as the person to take care of and distribute their worldly goods and their nestegg. For over 15 years, I took on the job as family trustee. I did right by them.
For the last three months, I've been winding down this job. It's become intense this month as I did research and writing and working with professionals to pave the way for the trustees who will take over this job. I did right by them.
I'm really glad my parents trusted me with their lives and their goods. And there was a degree of satisfaction to be able to help so many of their grandkids go to college. But now ...
:: sigh ::
Now I am so ready to move on to the next stage of my life without the burden and responsibility of caring for someone else's finances.
I'm ready to rest in Dale's arms.
