I do have the same thoughts that terrify me. I know your situation is different. You have built a life together with children. You have been together for so long.
I can't imagine the degree of heartache you feel with those thoughts. I feel after 22 years with Marc that I wouldn't be able to function, and we are not like you two at all, except for one thing. I am the ying to his yang.
There are no words to make the though of it better. I guess we just have to cherish every moment now and what else can we do right?
So true for sure, all we can do is our best, we all know that dying is part of life. I just have to stop worrying about it and get on with my life. I have been blessed, I know, but lately my mind is working overtime.
I truly think all this non-sense is from knowing I will be 70 in September. YIKES!!
