Page 16 - The Circle of Life

I tend to get involved with clients more than what the conventional lawyers do

as I can afford to so being independent and being slightly unconventional in my
approach. As a matter of interest the wedding was very nice and now we are all
looking forward to celebrate the arrival of a new grandchild with my client in a

few months. It means more work for me in the form of updated testaments (also

called wills) and a Trust fund for the child.

* Since the book was written we welcomed a healthy boy and I am glad to say

to you both him and his mom, the Chosen One, is healthy and in good spirits.
The baby did make the cross to me or what looked like it when I was formally

introduced so I gave his mom my evil eye for teaching her son such strange
ways.

Their lack of distrust made me think though. How many of my readers are aware

of the circle of life? You know? Where you look up one day and see the woman
of your dreams gliding (they never walk) to you and then after serious dating

you get married and live happily ever after (I hope) or stand in the divorce court
(I hope not) or later on at the funeral saying goodbye for a short while only (I

hope). Along the way you may be rich or poor and have kids or not. This is the
circle of life and since everyone falls in love at some stage so no-one really

escapes it (I hope). Dating is a big deal in our lives as it should be.

As an observation I wish to state that dating does not stop at marriage but only

at death unless you believe in soul mates where it may carry on after death. It is

a known fact that a man cannot function alone (nor do two things at the same
time) and as a result the much improved gender was created and the two
became one for the better of mankind. It is the natural order of things I say.

People fall in love and whether they are of the same sex or opposite sex is

irrelevant to us if not to the law as we will see if boredom don't get you first.

Someone clever once said all that is certain in life is death and taxes. Benjamin

Franklin, the First American that was in case your history teacher failed you. I
wish to add onto this wisdom by saying the circle of life is also certain. Hence,

through the centuries the law involved itself in relationships and now regulates
who you can date, marry and what happens in divorce or death. This is what this

book is about. Your rights and obligations whilst dating for it is a more complex
