Unfortunately, we don’t have any living relatives other than my MIL who is barely able to take care of herself at this point. I think that’s why I get so stressed about it. One of my dearest long-term friends (since 5th grade) and her husband agreed to be our kids’ guardians; but, in the meantime, they’ve had four kids of their own and a heart attack and stroke between them (and they are health nuts!). Just not sure that they could handle it now, but I’ve not pushed the issue with them. Don’t want to hear that they’ve changed their minds.

Yeah, I shouldn’t have said “supportive relative”, as it really doesn’t matter if they are a relative or not.
I better understand your concern now – we had two choices for guardians of our kids should that have been needed. Over time I became fairly dissatisfied with both those choices as I watched the potential guardians lives unfold and how they handled a few events in their lives. But they beat any other alternatives we would have had by a long shot. Sounds like you are in a similar boat. 🙂
