Made me feel a lot more comfortable. I feel like I'm covered. Thanks!

Did you and your sister and one other witness, walk this directive down to a notary, to make it official?
Great idea!! We have directives for our physical health, never thought about MH directives, but yes, this is a good discussion!!
