Looking At Death In The Face

I am having a really awful time at home right now, caring for an ailing pet. I know it sounds stupid to some while some friends compare me to Marley & Me. I don't know how that movie ends though I do know that it's a dog movie. Well, Snoopy & Me are real and I am living it.

Taking care of Snoopy, I am looking at death in the face. Looking at him, I see my parents growing old and I fear that I may have to care for them the same way like I am doing for the dog. I actually feel like life is passing me by.

At the same time, what I am more fearful of is if I should leave the world before them, who would take care of them? If they were to be placed in homes for senior citizens, who would pay the bills?

I really should stop dragging my feet getting term life insurance quotes and comparing policies. I may not have left the house for the past 1.5 months since Snoopy became bedridden but luckily, I could obtain insurance quotes online and compare insurers at the comfort of home. I wouldn’t have to go around insurance companies, even if I could!
