What was said in the above replies, as well as knowing I'm that much closer to death and have to depend on people if I'm unable to do things myself. -
who will take care of ds2:( hes got spastic quadriplegic cp and will need help for the rest of his life -
I'm divorced and don't date. I mostly go to work and come home and spend my time with my family. Mainly my 2 grandkids. I worry about dying alone I think. I think about being old and by myself and it just isn't a good feeling.

That someday my kids may bear responsibility for my care.

I'm scared to death of losing my freedom. -
