[extropy-chat] extropian grandchildren (was: it's all understandable, except)

[MB]

When our children were born we selected godparents who could also stand as guardians
should anything happen to us. They were named as the guardians *in our wills*. The
term "godparent" was used socially because our parents *really* cared that there be
some religious involvement, it mattered to them, and their feelings mattered to us. 
 The religious aspect did not matter to *us*, but the selection process was very
important.

So there is a term, I think which could be used. Guardian. The meaning may be
somewhat broadened because we commonly think of guardians only when there are no
longer active parents, but it was more than that in our family. Our children grew up
with close association with their guardians - some of them, because it's always easy
to select a guardian who doesn't work out for some reason.

Remember: whenever there's a birth, death, marriage, divorce, or coming of age, the
wills should be re-examined for current accuracy. That's what my dad always said,
and I think it quite wise.

Best regards,
