My parents have grown old. They are still here, and still functional, for the most part. Still rational.
I treasure every moment I get to spend with them. They won't be here much longer, and I love them.
Think about your family, and make sure you enjoy the present - the current moment - with them, so that when you are old and sick, you can look back on your life and remember this moment. You will feel good about your life if you do. You will go through personal Hell later if you don't (guilt and remorse that is).

Originally posted by AThousandYoungDefinitely make the most of your time with elderly parents. My Dad died when I was 19 and my Mum died four years ago. It's strange to not have parents any more - and nobody will adopt an orphan over 40 years old! 🙂

Originally posted by StarrmanDo you think it was your family's intention to create something disjointed, dysfunctional and disappointing? Sometimes these things just happen unfortunately. 🙁
My family are disjointed, disfunctional and disappointing. I plan to make the family with my son and partner none of these thing.
