I spend much of my twenties worrying about exactly that. Funny, when the time actually came and they each died, there was a certain relief that came with it. I no longer had to worry about that happening. It was in many ways very liberating. I am going to give. you the advice my mom gave me: Don't put flowers on her grave. Bring her flowers while she is alive.
