Our Inheritance

We have choices in later life.
However, we have inheritance at birth.
Lillian's son gave a brief reminder of this at a brief chat one day after her passing.
We are given an inheritance of our family.
We do not chose them nor their behaviors brought to the table, so-to-speak.
Cherish your family even if you have to disagree.
Your family will disapppear one-by-one. 
Cherish your family.
Richard and I understand our inheritance.
Know your inheritance!
