Data of the Dead Digital Story :Writing

I decided to update my last will and testament. I wrote one back in 2011. But my life has changed drastically since then.

I always new about people writng their last will and testament when they are old or sick. But I used to wonder, but what if I die tomorrow? Even though I'm only 24 years old if something were to happen to me tomorrow, I would like to leave certain thoughts and things to the people I care about. So I guess this a way I can do that.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
