A Fisher Girl, by Ilya Repin, 1874 (wikiart.org.)
I apologize for not posting for a long time. I was asked to prepare a “protection mandate” and a Will. I am told that it is ordinary business. However, if at all possible, I will take care of my cat until nature takes him away. He will be eleven in April. I will also take care of myself.
However, I’ve not been idle. I have been comparing the Western Church, Catholicism’s Virgin Mary in particular, and the Eastern Church’s Theotokos, the Birth-Giver of God.
This subject is a little more complicated than one would suspect. The two Churches are both united and different.
I will publish my post as soon as my cat lets me use the computer’s keyboard.

It is a good idea to prepare things like a protection mandate and a will. It’s a good idea to review them every so often, too. It’s even better if one can care for oneself and be independent for as long as possible.

One has to do these things. I would like to remain autonomous and stay in my home for the rest of my life. There are services for seniors who wish to stay away from institutions. But, unfortunately, Quebec does not recognize living wills. I could therefore find myself alive when life has ceased to be an option. My best candidate is my nephew.
