Good morning, The other day I was asked a few questions in connection with moving a bank account for my parents’ trust. Presumably these questions are to ensure I am who I allege to be and are part of the “know your client” requirements of the bank. Most of the questions were the run-of-the-mill questions about mother’s maiden name, first school attended, and the like.
Thanks for this Glenn. It will be a year next Friday since my wife of 47 years passed. Comforting to know that how I celebrate her, talk to her, remember her in little things is “normal.”
One of Marilyn’s closest friends, who is Jewish, recently sent me a newsy email that opened: “When you talk to Marilyn, tell her….” I don’t know if that is a common phrase in your religion, but I found it so reassuring; and life and memory affirming. Of course, I was already talking to her more than once a day with our own news.
