I have my younger son lest and he has his own tribe of 7 children two jobs and school and a wife. Glad to know I am not a freak and that someone out there understands what this fear of "what could be" feels like it is almost paralyzing at times. I have good friends but again I feel like I will be the "bother" in their lives.......horrible feeling when it comes. I am 55 years old. i have lost all of my immediate family and one son.

I can't imagine myself being with kids, either. I have three dogs. It doesn't comfort me since it doesn't change the fact that someday I'm gonna be all by myself. I never talk about this fear to people around me. While I was reading your story, I felt somewhat relieved. I'm not the only person. Every person is all alone in some way or other. I should admit... It's sad. I’m the only child in my family. I can’t imagine myself being with kids, either.

We need to plan this out so we will be all set and taken care of. That dog next door is not going to watch itself and think of all the shenanigans we will pull in our track suits, BUCKAROO! :) Becky,

I'm a lot younger than my siblings and with my husband being a few years older, I too fear that I'll be left in a nursing home in a rocking chair all alone. That's why we should invest now and buy that house in Miami next door to a nice pediatrician so that Justin can wheel us around while we eat our cheesecake.

That fear of being ALONE is very scary and sometimes very real. Thank you for putting this out there. OMG – you hit the nail on the head with this one for me as well.
