But in order to be forever young, wouldn't you have to die young? Sometimes I wish I could freeze the ages that my kids, husband, and I are at. I've been hit with a lot of nostalgia lately. Our kids are growing up so fast and it just gives me a pain in my heart. It's so rewarding and beautiful watching them grow, yet it's bittersweet at the same time. Then I look around me, seeing my family age, and it fills me with panic. When you're young and innocent, you think everyone just lives forever. You don't really notice them getting older, you assume they'll always be there. But as you grow older, wiser, you realize that just isn't so. But I try not to obsess over it too much, or else I'll drive myself crazy. However lately I've been a bit preoccupied with it. It could possibly be due to my twins' 3rd birthday coming up. All three of us nearly died on that day 3 years ago, and it brings back a lot of not-so-pleasant flashbacks, but then again it makes me think about how lucky we are to be here.
my parents, especially my mother, are getting preoccupied with their personal financial legacies to us. my mother has decided that i get her house in pensacola, jocie and dalzell get the house in garden grove, ca. she's parcelling out the belongings and had made it known that i'm in charge of her estate and her treasures. i'm so honored.
Yeah, I hate when my mom wants to talk about when she dies. She tells me that I'm in charge, and how much money she has in her life insurance, all that stuff. I don't even like to think about that, so I tell her that I don't want to hear it. She says she just wants me to know, and that's all well and good, but I'd rather not think about it until the time comes, and whatever happens, it can be said in writing because it's just to hard for me to talk about it right now.
my parents has arranged all that kinda stuff too and they have explained as what we would get when they pass away, but i don't remember. i think i get what you mean. to me it's more important that they life now than that they will pass away someday.
my mom's an old lady now, and i dont think she even realizes that she;s mortal. she's never said one word about a will, insurance, anything. thats what scares me more than her dying. but then again, what if she really is immortal? that woudl be swweet
See though Death, maybe your mother is actually better off. I mean, I can get obsessive over dying at times, worrying about it, thinking how I don't ever want to leave this life. I don't know...
oh god that's how my grandparents are...downto what pieces of furniture I want...it's like you expect me to answer that?
whenever im really sick and have aches and pains and can hardly more i always imagine thats what its like to be old
I only want to be old so that I can be the crazy cat lady who lives on her porch and yells at every random passerby. That's my dream...old, senile, and scary.
Oops forgot to not use the invisible quote ink. Need coffee...... need coffee bad. Sans milk of course. *L* Why "forever young"?
you know, it doesn't really bother me at all. people need to know that this stuff is gonna be taken care of, and i'm not gonna tell mom to stop talking about something she desperately needs to talk about.
