On the relative distances of apples and trees

[missroserose]

This morning, I got a Facebook message from my mother:

"Hi Ambrosia, Facebook now lets people choose a legacy contact to manage their account if something happens to them. Since you know me well and I trust you, I chose you. Please let me know if you want to talk about this."

Not thinking much of it, I responded with "We can if you want, but it seems pretty straightforward."

This evening, I get a follow-up: "Hi sweetie, that was a canned Facebook message – I would put something like 'hi darling girl – when I kick the bucket you're it!' Love, Mum"

Yup. That's my mum. <3

Another tip: when naming executors, be sure they are willing to do the job. Your mother seems to be doing well, which makes sense given her legal background. Good also that Facebook is providing some way to handle the situation at their site.
