The fear

[Chozn1]

This is a seriously deep thread, and while I have no children, I do have loved ones. Pain is part of our human life in this imperfect system of things. Really, all we can do is prepare to the best of our ability with what is within our realm of control. A certain amount of worry is good as it motivates us to move into action where we can. However, if we spend too much time with our own thoughts, it robs us of precious time with loved ones, and God forbid if something happened, time we'll never get back. Statistically speaking, they're the ones who are going to have to deal with your passing. Enjoy your time with them and make it the best you can to the best of your ability. In the end, you put your chips in and played the game. That's the important part.
