    Thank fuck my grandparents were completely independent until they got very sick very quickly and died.

    Two of my grandparents passed before I was born, of rather aggressive cancer. The other two lived completely independently until age-related illnesses got them in a matter of weeks.

    I kinda hope that’s what happens to my parents; they’re in their mid 70s now and doing just fine on their own. My sister and I only need to help with with the occasional thing, like fixing stuff around the house that takes a decent amount of strength to do, or climbing ladders.
