When I was a teen, I wanted to join the Navy. But women couldn't work on submarines then, and I wanted to do that. My desire to be in the Navy was not strong enough to overcome that disappointment. I still think the Navy is cool though.

Anyway, good stuff in this article. I'm at the age now where, while I'm fulfilling many roles for my mom, I need to take steps on my own behalf as well, which is just weird. (Mom is in really good shape, nothing dire going on.)(we don't live together)

I have a nearby friend I can count on right now, but that wasn't always the case. "Who could you call for help if you have an emergency at 2 a.m.? If you go to the hospital, who will take care of your cat and make sure you don’t come home to spoiled milk in the fridge?"

Hard if you're not close to them or if you don't have siblings, though. My nephew is only 20. I couldn't put this on him at this point.

This was something I hadn't considered, but it makes sense. "The best option generally is a family member who is a generation younger than you, like a niece or a nephew — someone mature enough to handle the responsibility but not so old that they face the same challenges of aging as you do."
