Final Thoughts A Legacy Letter
Final Thoughts A Legacy Letter
Kathleen M. Rehl | February 12, 2021
YOUR ESTATE PLAN specifies what you want done with your money and possessions after your death. But your life’s treasures extend beyond these material items—to your values, heritage, relationships, hopes, dreams, memories and stories. You can share some of this with family and friends through a legacy letter, sometimes called an “ethical will.”
Not long before my mother died, she wrote her legacy letter. She asked that it be read during her memorial service. Her letter began: “To you, my family, who are reading my legacy letter, please know how important you are to me and how much I love you. Life has been such a fascinating and interesting adventure. I apologize for the times I wasn’t the Mom you would have liked me to be. Please know that I really tried my best. Forgive me if I have hurt you in any way.”
Mom’s two-page letter went on to talk about what mattered most to her, emphasizing a great love for family. It was the major theme of my mother’s life: “As I’ve grown older, I continue to value family more and more. It’s so important to keep in touch by calling or writing. So much of who I am today is because of my mother and Grandma Green and Aunt Frances. They were very special ladies in many ways.”
A couple of times a year, I reread Mom’s legacy letter, written 14 years ago. Her wisdom and advice still speak to me today. How many times do you think I have revisited my mother’s legal will? Never.
I wrote my first legacy letter after my husband’s death. I’ve updated my message for family several times since, usually triggered by unique events—my son’s marriage, birth of a grandchild, a move across the country, starting a business, remarriage, retirement and the pandemic. Three years ago, expanding my legacy letter, I began writing poetry and stories, including photos from decades past. There are 62 pieces to date. I continue adding to my collection, sometimes sharing several of these with my children. They especially love the stories about themselves.

What Backs the US Dollar? Not Gold Not Silver
What Backs the US Dollar?
So what backs the US dollar, if not gold or silver? The answer has been the same since August 15, 1971: nothing physical. The dollar is a fiat currency — from the Latin fiat, meaning “let it be done.” Its value rests on a government declaration that it is legal tender. Beyond that, it rests on trust.

Iraq’s 2027 budget is written in IQD because that’s the endgame sovereign currency, gold-backed, revalued, black market eliminated.
But you don’t get there overnight. Right now Iraq still runs a dual-currency economy. USD circulates alongside IQD.
