She was 90 years old and in relatively good health, but a fall in her home led to a chain of events and she suddenly passed away from us on our daughter Amy's 14th birthday.
Evelyn led a simple life, saving money away in wads of cash around the house as she didn't trust the banks and didn't want anyone to know her business.
This week we have been sorting out her few old belongings. She didn't have much in the way of possessions, she never went on holiday and lived in one room of the house, choosing to huddle by a gas fire rather than run her central heating.
It struck me in the last few days that we all leave this life with the same thing - nothing! We leave behind our possessions and our cash either for the next generation or the tax man.
We have decided that we are going to enjoy life to the full right up to the very last minute! We have also been thinking about a fantastic legacy we can leave - more of that later!
Enjoy yourself
Mark
