LETTERS???

I dont want to sound negative. I am really excited for my surgery, but in the back of my mind, I feel like I should write my fiance a letter in case something were to happen. Has anyone else done this or thought about this?

I did not. I put my faith in God and am bankin' on Him. We each have to do what makes us feel comfortable. If I felt I might need to, I would not hesistate to do so. I think you did the right thing for you.

My husband wrote letters to our children. He said it was one of the hardest things he's ever had to do, but he is glad he did it. I'm sure that if something were to happen, your fiance would be relieved to have some final thoughts from you. It may even help him heal. Good luck, Jennifer

I can tell you that I don't feel that they will ever have to read them, but that I will have letters for my family. My husband died of leukemia (the curable kind) in 1998 and never felt he would need to write the letters. I even suggested it once. Well, our kids wish now they had something like that, and there's nothing I can do about it. ****Do it for your family.**** Show them that you care. That's all I can say. It would have made a huge difference for my son who was his sidekick, and now is forgetting a lot of things about his dad. And my daughter was only 1 yr old when daddy died. I can't tell you how nice it would be for her to have something from him now that she is 8. In a way I feel like it was selfish of him to not write the letters. He's gone, and the family is left with the grief. I don't mean to offend anyone, but trust me if you were the loved one and your family member died as a result of this surgery, you'd want the letetr, and it would be highly important to you.

I am having surgery on the 30th and will not write any letters.. I have a hubby and six children under 12.. I have no intentions on passing on.. i feel confidant I will do fine and faith that God will bring me through surgery just fine.. Shelly
