Today, I paid all of my parents debts...

[Spookwriter]

As you know, my father passed away on Christmas Day.
Quite hard on Mom...56 years of marriage.

Long time together.

Dad left some debts. Debts Mom couldn't handle on her
own. Didn't take some people very long to begin to harass
her.

She's stressed out. Hasn't been resting.

Today I was blessed to be able to simply pay off every single
debt my parents had. Just started at one end of of her bills and
wrote to the other. Then put a few extra dollars in her account.

For whatever time my mother has left on this earth, she will be
taken care of.

I'm not rich...but I had that much.

So to be able to take this burden from my mom, I'm glad I
was able to do that.

Spook...

That must have felt real good. Good for you!

Your a good person Spook.....

I can't imagine how happy you must feel knowing that you were able to do that. It's a really really nice gift to give your mom simple peace.

 

[MamaHenSD]

Awww. That's an incredibly kind gesture and I'm sure you've given her much peace of mind.

Hi Spook,

We did that for my mother-in-law and it was something she worried about all the time - now she just has to keep current...

My mother left no debts fortunately. My father on the other hand had £80,000 worth of credit card debt. An £80,000 loan that was supposed to pay off the credit card debt but didn't. Several cheque book accounts all with large over drafts and other loans with different banks all in it totalled about £250,000. According to UK law if you die without an estate as he did the debt dies with you so I pent three years telling banks to go away as they were not and did not get one penny from me.
