[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may [b]sound kind of horrible[/b], but my dad says he is relieved that both of his parents died in quick succession when we kids were toddlers. [/quote] Not really.. My dad passed away at 76. My inlaws are 87 and 84. Just a few years ago, both were very active, traveled a lot, etc. FIL's decline started suddenly and now he needs help with a lot of things with family is taking care of him for now since he's still mobile. Knowing their family history, I suspect he'll be around for at least another 5+ years but health will deteriorate. While we have the resources for paid elder care for FIL, I'm certainly glad my dad did not have to suffer through this while at the same time missing him dearly.. [/quote]
