    Idk how old y’all are, but I’d imagine I’m a bit older than most (mid 20s) on here. Was hanging with my folks the other day, they started our family pretty late in life. Both my parents in their 60s and we were just having fun watching random stuff on tv when it just hit me like what life is gonna be without my parents.

    Idk bout y’all, but I’m DUMB close with my parents. We didn’t grow up with much but they gave everything they had to us, and moved mountains to fulfill our needs. From 7 onwards tho my dad got a baller af job and we never really struggled after that. But I still remember what it was like before. Now we all live near them, but all out the house. And d--- dude, helpin my parents do things they used to do all the time lowkey breaks my heart. Seeing them age too. Man even thinking bout only us kids being here and my parents both gone kills me man. I lowkey wanna prepare for it, because I feel like when they both go I’m going to be depressed AF. Neither of my parents were close with theirs, so they made sure they did everything they could to have a strong relationship with all us kids. And aside from one who’s a screw up, they do. And even the screw up they still love to death and would do anything for.. Just that person isn’t in the right place mentally atm..

    Anyways.. I just wanna know if y’all have any ideas how to prepare. I’m not saying it’s coming soon, but with my parents health I honestly don’t see 15 more years.

    don't have any ideas how to prepare. everything must go eventually

    i think the best route to take is to simply enjoy them as much as you can while they're still around. and don't take them for granted. realize they could go at any moment and cherish your times with them :emoji_heart:

    I'm also mid 20's but my parents are pretty young (late 40's) but yeah no matter what age s--- can always happen.

    Terrible thought.
