Morbid post ahead...

Todd and I are doing what should have been done years ago...we're choosing the guardians for our children if something ever happens to us...but how do you choose? If we could take bits and peices of people, friends and family, I would...but that's probably not an option...all of them love our children, almost as much as we do, but what about the other stuff, what about dressing them the way we do, what about our religious beliefs, the way we do homework, dinner, chores, allowance, vacations, hair cuts, punishments, sports, grades, bad days, good days, graduation, college, first cars, driving lessons, first dates, prom, weddings. Who could/would do them the way we would.

Nobody will be just like you guys. You just got to think about who would have their best interest at heart and who would raise them and be able to give them a piece of their mom and dad. So, I guess I would say you need to pick someone that you think is like you. Someone that is laid back, enjoys life and is just a all around great person! You know, someone like you. It is so hard to think of someone other than yourself raising your kids, I know.

We struggled with this, too. In the end we chose my sister and her husband who actually want more kids, rather than the sister and husband who do not. My sister and her husband who doesn't want more kids lives closer and would probably raise them more like I would, but I don't want my kids to be resented. It would be bad enough if, God forbid, they had to be raised by someone else. I need to know that they will be loved and wanted. Just pray for wisdom as always, and know that the chances of the plan needing to be put into action are very slim. Blessings!
