Your Purpose May Find You


Let me tell you a story about a woman I met who says in her own words, "be careful what you ask for" and "she is doing what she has to do."

Well, this woman lost her son-in-law to cancer. Her step-daughter was left to raise triplets, one with cerebral palsy. At 55 the woman was able to retire from the government but choose to find another job because she needed something to keep her busy. She began to wonder what her purpose was in life. She felt her life did not have meaning. Within a couple of years, she lost her husband to cancer. One night while her step-daughter was visiting, her step-daughter had to be rushed to the hospital. Her step-daughter never left the hospital. A brain aneurysm ruptured and she died.

"Be careful what you ask for." This 58 year old woman was the only one left for these 5 year old triplets which she has since adopted. When you look at her with total awe and admiration, she says "she is doing what she has to do". Her purpose found her.

Estate planning will be very important for her, especially now. Provide us with your comments or contact us at http://www.ythlaw.com/
