A Selfish Relief

As much as both of their deaths hurt.... part of me is relieved.

Relieved that I will never see them go through Parkinson's, or Dementia, or Alzheimer's, or a car accident.

It's done and it's over.

I don't have to go to any more family events that I really didn't want to go to.

I don't have to worry about them asking for money.

I don't have to worry about them at all.
