You're totally right.. it is the reality for a lot of old folks, which is honestly why I don't understand 50-60-something just *starting* to have kids.
I can understand their desire for a child, but sometimes I think that they might not realize what kind of burden it would put on their kids (at such a young age) when they fall ill as they age further. But I guess that is a topic for another thread, another day.
