That is a very hard thought.
My Mom & Dad are 86 and live three miles from us in a nice house.
We check on them all the time. But leave them alone. Don't need anything they own.
What I figure is that when one of my parents passes... the other one will come and live with us. I know it is hard but family is family.
They both belong to a fitness club and go twice a week. Heck... I am begining to think that they are in better shape than me and the wife.
They love life and it is going to be so hard to face the facts.
Anyway, my Dad and I are going to the Salt Flats speed week in August to have fun.
One of the reasons I have never had to "grow up" is that I still have parents.
Sunday, my Pop and I are going to watch the Super Bowl, eat pizza and down a few. I love my folks and I know that in time, all things must pass.
My Mom and my wife have got all the legal stuff taken care if. What really kills me is when my Mom comes over (still drives!) and gives us things like old photographs and dishes, etc that have some family importance.
I hate taking the stuff. It is like... "Mom, are you planning to die soon?".
The hard fact is that you as a son or daughter have to take care of the legal requirements that will be needed when your parents do pass.
