[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I had to choose between spending some nice quality time with my parent, going to a doctors appt or being there for their last breath....I would choose, hands down, to spend some nice quality time with them while they were alive...even if that was just a phone call or back/forth email. If you can be there for all of it that is good. But if you have to choose I would pick visiting them while they could enjoy our time together as much as possible.[/quote] What if you had a newborn? What if missing work meant you'd lose your job? And if you lost your job, the lack of income meant losing your children's home? What if your spouse was also ill and not able to care for your children? It's very easy until it isn't. [/quote]
