Sally and Felix
are concerned
for their son Angelo’s
future,
should something happen
to both of them.  

Neither one of them
has any close relations
that aren’t completely messed up,
or dead.  

They don’t ever want
foster care
for their Angelo.  

They wouldn’t wish foster care,
like they had,
on their worst enemy.  

What Sally and Felix do have
are good friends.  

Their minds go at once
to Butch, and Joanna,
or Wawa and Bev.  

They discount Butch,
because Butch is big,
and he tends to eat too much.  

Butch would feed Angelo up,
that could be unhealthy.  

They settle on Wawa and Bev.  

If nothing else,
Wawa would provide Angelo
with a great work ethic.  

With Wawa,
it’s money—money—money,
and
work—work—work.  

Sally and Felix figure
that’s not all bad.  

Sally and Felix,
they get themselves a lawyer,
and have him write up a will.  

They leave Angelo to Wawa and Bev,
with Butch and Joanna, second choice.

Bobby

I was somehow under the impression that
you had more than one child, Bobby.

Ida,

I do have more than one child.  I have four children.  My wife and I made a will for their care.  It's something everyone with kids should do.

I agree and have taken care of that myself.
I also made all of my final arangements because I don't want my daughter to have to go through that again. I kind of think of it as cleaning up after myself.

Ida,

Good, I've done that too.

My youngest is 39 now, so that will, as far as the kids custody goes is no good.  In this state, they belong to you until they turn 18.  We wanted to make sure and keep them out of the hands of "The System", and if possible, keep them together.

Hello Bobby, another interesting story from Felix, I wish Angelo would have choosen himself, but perhaps he is too young.

Dear Yann,

No, I'm afraid that would not have worked out.  

At the time the will was made, Angelo was running with a very bad crowd of ten year olds, and he would have chosen one of them.

Thanks Dear Tammy,

Yes, Wawa and Bev are all right.  Of course, Wawa and Felix have always been very close.

Wawa and Bev can be trusted.

They took care of their boy good.  And their love shows in many ways, like considering their options in deciding what was best for him.
