I'm going to be in the same boat as Twister in a few years. My mom had me when she was 40 and my parents are in their early 60s now. I'm just 19.

My dad has cancer (more specifically, leukemia) and it overwhelms me at times. But in the end, although it may be based on some unrealistic and naive worldview, I look forward to the day when I will care for my aging parents. What an honor to give back to the people who made your own life possible and beautiful!

But I totally understand what you are saying about it feeling all too soon. Too soon for them and too soon for us.
