[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Took a “cousins“ trip to Europe last summer. Was great visiting house our moms and dads were born in and everything.

I ran into two older people 98 and 95 who remembered  my mother. My kids came and they got to see the history and meet people and hear the stories. Was as if my Mother was alive again.

My one relative who was alive at 104 had her 32 year old grandson with her to take the trip.

She still owned house she was born in back in 1918. And had people fixing up her house as she was passing it on to the one of the grandkids.

Her husband worked for NASA helped put first man on Moon in WWII she worked as a factory supervisor while her husband fought in WWII and [b]she had a full life.[/b]

[b]But what would have been point of any of it [/b]if her kids had no kids? She be dead or rotting in a nursing home no grandkids. Certainly no grandson to help her go to Europe one last time. Her 200 year old farm in Europe she was born in would be town down, her 104 years worth of life would be forgotten and her assets divided up on court house steps. Sad.

THAT is the point. People's own lives have meaning. People matter. 
You sound like one of those religious nuts who wastes their entire life dreaming of heaven.

Go outside and feel the sun on your skin. Take in the sounds and scents. Smile at someone. Enjoy a cup of coffee. Walk around and feel your muscles working. Lie under a tree and watch the leaves move and the birds flying in formation. People who live that way find meaning in and enjoy their lives, no matter what their "accomplishments" are and regardless of whether or not they have grandchildren. [/quote]
