This question is often asked to my parents by their children, I am probably the biggest culprit of it. It makes my dad laugh and my mom cry. But let me explain a bit. First off, neither one of my parents side have things that have been passed down from generation to generation. We aren't like that. However, Jim's family is very big into things being passed down so much so that he has lots of those boxes at banks (I forget the name) that hold valuables and are insured and all that. I would love to just go and open them and see what kind of treasures they hold. Then there is my family. We have a lot of art valuables so that is what we kids fight over the most. But guess who has the better end of the deal from all of us kids? ME! Because I (said with a devilish grin) am the person when my parents die who gets to decide what goes to whom. And now my fingers are wiggling back and forth as if I'm excited. Jim would call these my passionate fingers or something like that. He loves my fingers when they go wiggly like that, it means I'm excited. So yes, when I ask my parents if I can have that when I die. I know for certain I will get it! hahahaha siblings! You see I appreciate things. I was the one as a 16 year old saved up about 130 dollars to get something framed that my dad had painted. It is now mine! Even though my other siblings seem to think they should get it, but I was the one who went and sought it out and took it to be framed! As well, my dad gave me this little thing he made when he was in woodshop or something when he was 12 and he passed it onto me and it has been in every car I ever own as my good luck charm. I've had it since I was 16. My mom has this ring that was given to her by her aunt and she passed it to me only to have my sister Whitney steal it from me. Rude.
Anyway, my point being if you ever here me say "can i have that when you die?" Take it very seriously, i don't mess around.

I think that you have even asked for some of my stuff....
But I love this about you. It's not that you care about STUFF. You care about the people and memories attached to that. And it's one of the most wonderful things about you. That and your passionate fingers, which I must have gotten from you.
So are you saying you're excited for your parents to die so you can get those items?
of course not dear! wink wink
Those sweet boxes are safe deposit boxes Hayley dear. Sounds like you are having a blast in Seattle!
