    The debate made me really afraid for my parents. They’re not much younger than either and now I’m thinking they’ll need a lot more help a lot sooner than I realize.

      Hug you parents. Show them that you love them. Nothing is so important that you should forget how much they have meant to your life. My mom died suddenly this week, and far too young. The time is never long enough…

        Really sorry to hear about your mom. I’m older, and both my parents are dead. You’d think that, since it’s the norm than your parents die before their kids, we’d be more emotionally prepared for our parents dying, but I found it pretty tough in both cases. The second one is particularly bad. Hang in there and focus on the good memories.
