"I'm going to leave everything in such a mess for my family.” This thought flashed through my head as I was being airlifted to Sydney, by The Royal Flying Doctors of Australia.
I was near death and my body was shutting down. I panicked...
"My family won't know where to start looking or how to access what they'll need."

We always think we have time....tomorrow! Yet, life can change suddenly and unexpectedly. We hope for the best, but should always plan for the worst. If disaster strikes, we should have records of everything. Not only documents and certificates, but physical things and momentos too.
