Regardless, sorry for your loss.

I'd say it's an English term...

Translate:
transitive verb
1 a: to bear, remove, or change from one place, state, form, or appearance to another.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's how Peter F. Hamilton meant it in his Confederation Universe series when a ship translated space, which is where I sort of borrowed it from. It's nice and neutral.

Hahhahaah. Thanks, man.

My apologies for my insensitive post.  I didn't read your OP closely and wasn't aware of the situation.  I feel like a complete ass.   :-\

Hahahahahhah.....hahahahhaahh. Na, dude, no worries. People need to say whatever they do at whatever times they do. Same for me. Being so and understanding this is personal. (Some might call it 'genuine' and 'perceptive'.) Taking anything 'personal', on the other hand, just gets in the way of it all.

Heh. But, indeed, and make it known in a legal manner. My aunt did.

Also, the other night, I happened to watch Field of Dreams. (Incidentally, especially with this flick in mind, I can't understand why some people don't love Costner...) I think I saw this only once before, about twenty years ago, and I mostly forgot what it was about. It's really good. And last Sunday, afterward, I decided I might as well go and hang out at the house with my parents - I don't generally see them much, just cos I don't often go anywheres - and I made sure to give my dad a long, deep hug and told him I loved him.

This is true... all it takes is one family member to disagree on what should be done, for any reason, and all that talk about your wishes becomes useless.  If it's not in writing and notarized it's not binding.
