Isn't that the symbol for anarchy?
Nice acronym, Mom!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It actually looks like a cross between the symbol for Anarchy and the @ sign.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's close.
Maybe anarchy would have caught on if its symbol was made of chrome.

So anytime you get two atheists together, you get @@?

It looks like the Star Trek badge.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So anytime you get two atheists together, you get @@?
Only if they blog.

Maybe that's part of the plan - make atheism seem cool by subliminally associating it with Mr. Spock.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh.
I am currently wasting time before sending an email so the recipient doesn't think I'm actually that fast all the time. Because NO.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Now, do I have the nerve to email it to my mother?
You are absolutely welcome to do so. In fact, anyone may distribute it or point to it as they feel is helpful.
Also, I definitely encourage you to interview and record your parents' history. We did so with my grandmother years before. In fact, I have the cassette copies sitting on my desk right now, waiting to be run off to cd and distributed. And my sister & brother-in-law videotaped her in her home, describing objects and people and stories. We did it while she was in good health and memory, specifically for that reason.
It is absolutely invaluable to us now, in her memory.
I think the relevant conversations may be easier than you imagine. If you are thinking about the mortality of your parents and grandparents, the odds are fairly good that they're aware of their own as well. Your interest in their stories and history is likely to be taken as badges of your love for them, and valued, rather than rejected and refused.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sometimes I'll see a woman with a small child crossing the street at a crossing light, where they have a "don't walk" signal but the woman runs across the street with her child.
I am a firm believer that kids learn from what we do as much as they learn from what we say, and that they absorb our bad habits along with our good ones, so I don't cross the street against the light. Besides, my daughter tends to skip/dawdle and can't be trusted to cross quickly.
As for Advanced Directives, ITA with Liese about their importance.
