Sorry for everyone’s losses here on FR. There have been many. I lost both parents and a sister to lung cancer, my only brother to a heart attack, and my last sister to a stroke. I’m 69, and I’m the last from my immediate family.
That old saying is true: life is what happens to you while you're making other plans.
“I’m 69, and I’m the last from my immediate family.”
I can almost relate. I’m only 45. May dad passed away 38 years ago and my sister 28 years. I had another sister die 8 hours after birth. My mom and me are the only ones left. I never married or had kids, so I know I face a future alone (unless I go first, but I would not want my mom to have to bury her last child).
But I also know our time on earth is nothing compared to eternity. As scary as life can be, I try to keep my eyes on Jesus and my ultimate eternity in His perfect kingdom.
