Time marches on
My dad asked me to come over so he could show me some papers. He showed me where the life insurance policies and wills are for him and my my stepmom. He also showed me the burial plans they have made and paid for. He said he didn't want to add any more worries to me and my brothers when they pass away. Dang, I know these things are important, but I don't want to think of my dad and stepmom as being fragile. Time marches on, but I sure wish it would slow down for the parent generation. I'm not ready for my daddy to not be here.

It is a very hard conversation to have with one's parent. I remember thinking the same thing sista, but I know it made my dad feel better knowing he had things taken care of.
Hugs you my sista..cause I can.
Thank you, sista. You are the best. And you are right. My dad feels much better knowing that it's taken care of. I'm being selfish because I don't want to lose him. But, I think that's a good thing.
Reading this made my tears well up. Maybe your dad just wants to be prepared for that day in order to guide you just in case the inevitable occurs. I wish him and your step mom good health.
This is something no one wants to face but it is very important. I give your parents a lot of credit for taking the step. They are very brave down to earth folks.
