I also worry about what would happen to my parents if something happened to me.  [/quote]

My husband is the middle child of three. With help from his mother, he handled all his father's arrangements when he died unexpectedly, heart attack.  When his mother was diagnosed with a debilitating and terminal illness, it was my big strapping  husband who nursed her.  He took her to all her doctor's appointments, fed and bathed her. His trifling brother showed up at the funeral. And his selfish spoiled sister would fly in When she thought dear mom was at death door. It did not stop either one of them for taking their inheritance share.  But they were no help.  P,ease don't assume that siblings will be there for each other or you the parents.

Well, not having siblings certainly does guarantee that you won't have siblings that COULD be friends and COULD help out.[/quote]

Oops, what I afield to mention is that DH had loving friends who was there for him during this time.  You can't pick your siblings, but you can pick your friends. That is a guarantee. [/quote]
