Growing Old (1)

Sometimes, I don’t want to think about growing old. It sounds so… morbid for me at times. I mean, I’d have to think about cheap life insurance, retirement homes, pension plans, retirement plans, and everything else. I’d really prefer not having to worry about a home though because I highly believe that I should be able to live by myself or that my children will take care of me when I’m alone. I hope that I will teach my children enough so they understand how much I cherish family and what I’d do for them.

Hi there. Yes, can relate to your fear of getting old and hoping your children will be there for you. I am certainly there for my dad who is in a nursing home with dementia, although he still knows me. We have always been close and all the love and understanding he gave me as my sister and I were growing up has now paid off for him. i adore him but hate seeing him suffering in his later years. I especially worry because, like him, i have not looked after my health and fear I will end up the same way. So, hopefullly, my kids will be there for me in my latter years, following my example with my dad. Cheers, Diane Bartok.
