I still have both parents. It's terrifying to think of losing them, even though Im not that close with them.

Yes, my father died suddenly 800 miles away. We cared for my mother the last few years of her life, and she died near us at age 98. It still wasn't easy, but it was time. Lynn's father died three months after we married, and that was tough. Her mother died 800 miles away, and it was a shock, too.
