What are you most worried about for the future?
Without a doubt the thing in the future that worries me most is what will happen to my children after I die. I don’t have a good plan to leave with them. The older two are not in good positions to manage their own affairs. The younger two will need 24/7 care for the rest of their lives. I don’t get to decide what anything is going to look like after I die. I wish I did. I wish I could wrap them in dignity for the rest of their lives. I wish I could guarantee that the people who might use and abuse them will be kept away from them. But I can’t, and that worries me.

This is a valid worry for both of us.
