I don't think along the same lines that you do regarding the details, but I certainly fear outliving any of my children. I don't think I could handle that. But my mother had 10 kids and there are only 8 of us left. One died as an infant and we lost my brother, at age 52, four years ago.

But should you trust your young...You're not morbid. But should you trust your younger sister when she makes that statement?<BR/><BR/>I have the same kind of thoughts, though more about what would happen if I died. Like if I lost control and drove into the ditch on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. If the elevator suddenly plummets from the 50th floor to the 1st. If I got cancer, but they didn't find it until it was too late. What would happen to mom and to you guys?<BR/><BR/>Well, mom has vowed NOT to live through another child's death, so I guess - what would happen to you guys?<BR/><BR/>I remember when we found out that worker #3 had a heart murmur. The doctor said everything was fine, that it'd grow together and not be an issue. But to us, it was Ryan all over again and THAT was almost too much to handle.<BR/><BR/>...So could you get the kids off the four-wheelers, go-carts, mountain cliffs, and from within gun range? If we freak that badly over a heart murmur...<BR/><BR/>- your equally morbid, little sister<BR/><BR/>PS - but it's still okay to want to murder them every so often, right? like when worker #1 won't stop mugging with his gf, or when worker #2 tries to kill himself by totalling a four-wheeler? or when worker #3 proves that he IS smarter than the rest of us? THAT'S okay, right? :o)Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629439763527112833noreply@blogger.com
