Yesterday, Tony and I got physicals and blood work done in order to get our life insurance processed. I hope everything goes thru well and we are approved for the preffered life insurance instead of the standard. It's morbid to think about life insurance but I figured we dont have a lot fo family in the US. Most likely I am going to be staying in the states for a long time. In the event that anything happens to me or Tony I wanted to make sure that Rachel has some financial support to take care of her educational needs and other financial needs before she become financially independent.

Since we started looking into life insurance we also started taking about final arrangements(i.e. funeral costs etc). Tony says he doesnt care to be buried in a casket or even a cemetery he is saying find the cheapest think and do that. He wants to be cremated because he feels that is the cheapest way. I dont know if it came to that time if I would want to cremate him. There is also the thought of living him in a cemetery somewhere. What happens if we move to another state? I told him I wanted to be buried for sure but it doesnt have to be an elaborate funeral. I just want to be in a casket and hopefully buried somewhere where I can be visited once a year if possible. I know I will be dead still I want to feel connected to my family KWIM??? Times like this make me appreciate some of the bukusu burial Traditions. At least that way I know my final resting place will be among family and close to family.

Now the next thing is to make sure we try and get the wills drafted out in the next couple of months. Anyway for the record, Rachel is our primary beneficiary if both DH and I were to pass on. Right now Althea and Meloh are her God parents so I hope they'd take good care of her incase of our sudden departure.
