was talking about being prepared for the worst today with someone and it brought to mind some of the information that you need to save and share for your family…

recently one of my daughters asked about a condition and whether anyone in our family had it… made me realize that I should have paid more attention to my parents when they talked about health issues…

I knew that there was some arthritis in the family, but not what type and exactly who had it… there is diabetes in the family as well but not sure I can remember who had it…

clearly I should have made actual notes about these things when our parents talked about them… now they are gone and I have no one to consult about who said what about which illness…

this is important information for my children and even their children… I am going to spend some time writing down what I can remember regarding our elders health issues and put it in my When Mom Dies folder so that the kids have this information available as they need it…

if you still have elders, do ask them about these issues so you can share as needed with your health care providers, or the providers for your kids and grandkids…

family…
