A point of clarification. By executing a will, I meant signed before witnesses, therefore making it valid and legal according to the requirements of your state.
Jarudd Prosser said the family knew the risks involved, adding that as soon he learned his brother was shipping out, he made it a point to tell him how he felt about him. In a war, people die, he said. It puts a lot of things in perspective. It really makes me think, when you care about someone, you have to tell them that. When I heard he was going overseas, I left nothing unsaid.
Of course, not all of us have loved ones serving in the military....but things like the WTC terrorist attack or random shootings or automobile accidents can and do happen. I would encourage all of us to "leave nothing unsaid."
