A netizen shared about how his parents are getting older every day and he dreads the day they eventually pass away and leave him.
Here is the story:
I worry every day about my parents. They’re getting older; my mom is getting more slow and slowly losing her memory. My dad is slowing arching, and doing less and less heavy work.
They are still spry enough, my dad jogs and my mother still works. They aren’t old enough to retire, they are self sufficient.
Still I can’t deny that they are getting closer to a passing age. I am the eldest of the children, so I would be the one to deal with burying them.
I’m not sure I can deal with their death. I understand this way of thinking is ruining the time I spend with them.
I try and spend as much time as I can with them but the thought still lingers in the back of my head. My time with them will never be enough.
