[quote=Anonymous]I will never understand people like you.

It's not either/or. Of course it comes from a place of concern, how could it not? No one asks these questions for fun or to pass the time. You are allowed to not respond fully, even if the one asking did not intend to be intrusive.

My father is probably in his last illness. My friends and distant relatives have asked many questions. I am glad to give them updates. And if they're asking just in case they or their loved ones are ever in that predicament, I am happy to help them out! That's how a community works.

I've lived long enough that I am never surprised by any question I receive. I'm multi-ethnic such that that my origins are not readily apparent: people throughout my life have asked me where I come from. It's not intrusive - they're genuinely curious and not ill-intentioned at all.

"Intrusion" is very subjective. 
You can choose to answer with specificity or not, OP. But I don't think you should feel offended.
