This reply is aimed to helped not to amplify any fear. The stoics have a phrase “memento mori” meaning remember you must die. It’s the story that awaits all of us. My biggest fear was my dad dying - that guy… he, did so much for me. And because I wanted to make him proud I never talked to him much because I wanted to be “worthy” of him. And I was in Mexico these past 7 years trying to “find” myself. And he passed away 3-4 months ago here in the states waiting for me to return.

I never got to see him again. My point is. It’s not about the eventual destination that matters, it’s about the journey you have with them while they’re are here. Take advantage of every moment with them. Love them fully. Always forgive. Today is the only thing we have, and that’s what matters
