It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

During our lifetime, we often create traditions in our relationships with spouses, siblings, children, close family members or intimate friends. One of the sad effects of our passing will be the cessation of those traditions. But what if we could extend that tradition beyond our own existence?

A noted example of this was provided by Jack Benny. Before he succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 1974, Mr. Benny arranged for flowers, specifically a single long-stemmed rose, to be delivered to his widowed wife, Mary Livingstone, every day for the rest of her life. For nine years she received the gift and legacy of her loving husband, until her death in 1983.

What traditions have you created? Perhaps there is a cabin in the mountains or a beach retreat where you go as a couple every year for an anniversary or vacation. Maybe you have given flowers of a particular variety or quantity on your special days. Or was it a simple box of chocolates, or a special bottle of wine that you enjoyed together? Do you have a close group of friends with whom you spend your quality times……………………..visiting galleries, fishing, traveling, golfing, or whatever. These are the events that have bonded you together. Now you have a way to allow them to continue.

These unexpected gifts are designed to be given at the time of your choosing, after your passing. My Hidden Legacy is able to facilitate any gift, large or small, and the gifts may be a one-time-only event or occur annually for any number of years that you designate. Upon notification of your passing, My Hidden Legacy will make the requested arrangements and deliver the gifts at their special, chosen times. Imagine the face of your spouse, for example, when the doorbell rings and there is a dozen roses waiting there, sent by you. Imagine your buddies when they learn you are sending them to your favorite fly-fishing spot on the Madison River. Imagine the profound impact of that moment when that gift is given, seemingly Heaven Sent.
