Facebook eventually created a program for us to assign a family member to take over the account; maybe Medium hasn't run into it a lot, bc once we stop publishing we are kicked out of the program.

BUT -- it's the articles...I realized recently, I need to copy them all into a hard drive and start keeping them. I want them for my kids and if I'm blessed with: grands.

enjoyed your article! (and thanks for the compliment on the other comment btw...we just try and learn from our mistakes! ;-) Keep well!)
