I've been watching and listening as people share their personal stories on television discussing their lives since the September 11th attacks. I listened to this one widow talk about how she couldn't locate any important documents because her husband handled this and that. Another talked about not being able to pay her $2,200 mortgage. However, she did say her husband was barely able to pay it when he was alive.
This is just sad. I felt especially sorry for the first widow. When I lived at home, my mom always made sure everyone in the house knew where important documents were kept "just in case". Even now that I'm married, I handle the joint checkbook and keep all the records in order, but my husband knows where everything is "just in case".
I couldn't imagine being left in the dark like that. You just never know.
