This is scary stuff. I worry about something happening to me because of my kids and i want to be able to experience all the important stages of their lives. I lost my dad last Sept and i'm glad he saw me get married, have children etc. It's also Fathers day here on Sunday :-(
Like Mili I also worry about distance with my mum living in the Uk and this was complicated when my Dad fell ill. You become torn between your 2 families. |

I've always said that the only reason I'll leave Ireland is to go home to look after my parents if needed.

People, have at least 2 kids! |

As I was sitting in the park , overlooking the clouds making shadows on the bay . Some pair of old biddies walked by me and said , " I hate it when kids sit around and do nothing "
this 50 year old kid thought it was funny..... i was openly drinking a combat size beer |

My parents are still relatively young and healthy but it's weird knowing their decline is closer than it's not.
My mom is actually considering moving to Austin to be closer to me and my brother. Part of her reasoning is she'd rather move while she is still healthy and she can build a life here before she is old and unable to take care of herself and in another city. That makes a whole lot of sense to me. |
