my next door neighbor, who died recently, 78 years old, was robbed, and stolen her earthly belongings by immigrant people she befriended. I tried to help her, but by the time she ended up passing on, she left her home to the indian taxi cab driver, the handi man who took her for $13,000.00 and a gay guatemalan man she took into her home. She died a pauper. I guess befitting for someone who had no children. They only befriended her for what she had.
And you are 100 percent positive that this would not happen had she had children? Get real!!! You need to wake up and smell the coffee. Kids are not always interested in the elderly later in life. I am not going to rely on my children to assist me in my elder years...how selfish for parents even to think that. Just because this women had no children does not mean that she would not have been robbed. PLUS, she died a pauper. Big deal!! Was she to put it in her coffin?

Is it just me or does anyone else see this woman as having transportation, home repairs and housekeeping?
It's funny, I have a story that's quite similar.
The next door neighbors of the house where I grew up were a childless couple. They both had their own careers, and they decided that they would rather each pursue their careers than have children.
Many years later, he died of cancer, and she was all alone. She lived all alone in that house for a few years until she got sick herself. As she was dying in the hospital, some people who identified themselves as her "cousins", showed up from across the country in an RV and started living in her house for about a week or so. My mother could never prove it, but she strongly suspected that they were pilfering her house of valuables.
On a brighter note; our neighbor and her husband were both atheists. On her deathbed, she converted to Catholicism. Her last request to my mother before she died was to get a statue of Our Lady and place it in her backyard.
