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

At age 65 I still have my father. He’ll turn 93 in May. I lost my mother in 2023 at age 89, and that’s been difficult. Intellectually I knew that losing them was inevitable, but I’ve been close to them so watching my mother slip away from dementia was very heartbreaking. My father is having memory issues, but not on the level that my mother did, and physically he’s still very healthy, so I hope to have him for a little while longer.
