That picture this morning was so hard for me.I started blubbing like a 2 year old.I hasten to add not a criticism,he just looked so amazing in such a large piccy.
I am starting to think I am getting a bit silly here,half way through May and I still end up in tears,quite out of the blue.
Thankyou all the same for such a beautiful image though.

Yes, surely. You're very right. I was steeped in the "legalese" thinking of the article I'd just read.
Hence I thought that instead of legally trying to second-guess how the estate would have been re-distributed in an hypothetical updated will, had it existed, the one thing one can be absolutely, completely and utterly sure of is that Matilda would have been provided for. While Heath's other family by and large consists of grown-up people in suffient charge of their own lives and not in the same way as Matilda needing to be "taken care of". Possibly with the exception of the two younger sisters, I can't recall their ages.
Also, I was influenced by my own country's laws in this area, where the children (be they acknowledged as such or not, as long as they by any means can prove paternity, by way of DNA or in other ways) inherit minimum 67% of the estate. It is also legally impossible for a parent to disinherit a child. The thinking behind that law is, I suppose, what also caused me to write what I did.
*Sigh*
It's so weird and sad and horrible to even speak of this topic in connection with Heath, who was sparkling with so much energy and so alive and who just had so much going on in life, so many plans and ideas and so much yet to do. It's easy to see why his will hadn't been updated... he didn't think this could ever happen and neither did we. :'(
BelAir:
yes, the law is the law is the law, stupid or not.
(I can just picture Heath being all fidgety talking about the law and how it can be obstructive for what one really wants, in some sort of hypothetical scenario.)
law, will, wishes, wants, etc. aside, I shall say that I hope Heath's mother, father, sisters, etc. are fine, as I hope Michelle and Matilda are also fine. (Hopefully Michelle has all things set for Matilda, etc. in being able to care for her. At least (hopefully, I suppose) Matilda has the advantage that her surviving parent can hopefully provide for her.
I guess what I am getting at in some circuitous way, is, if you take a step back from the whole scenario, at least Michelle and Matilda [presumably] aren't destitute, no matter what happens with Heath's estate.

(Fiona) I'm sorry the pic made you cry. Don't feel silly about it. You're not alone. We just talked about it on the other thread: it comes in waves.
