One of my greatest fears is outliving my wife. I think this comes from the first 2mins of the film Up.

Society and public services aren’t kind to lonely old men. And by then my daughters will be busy having adventures of their own.

Nobody cares about you when you're truly lonely.

Your daughters won't turn their backs. They will only begin to understand the gravity of your love for them on their adventures.

And if nothing else, you will have loved and been loved. Many of us will never have that.
