I was just sitting here looking at my daughter and my son, playing with them and I was just thinking........one day I am not going to be here to do that with them and I cant stand it. Not that it is worth it to dwell on it but, it really does make you wonder and hope that there is more to life than just this part of it. I am very non religious but, I can understand why people turn to religion at least partially because of thoughts like this. Think of all the people before us, all the mothers, sons and daughters etc that died and the pain their families went through with their loss......I am really no different, noone is. Pretty shitty that my family and myself will have to go through this at some point in time. I will lose my mother and father, and my children will lose me. It almost makes things like Alzheimer a way of distancing yourself from reality to ease the pain of dying and maybe even distancing your family from yourself as you essentially lose who you are. i suppose I am in no position to speak of how such a thing could at all make the loss of a loved one easier but, it was just a way of looking at it for me.
Might sound like Im depressed after I re read that but Im not at all really, just pondering I guess. Lifes a trip lol. This shit is too short to be thinking about stuff like this too much though. Don't die a thousand deaths as the saying goes...?
