It’s a struggle but taking care of my parents is my main priority

I live 20 minutes away from my parents with my own little family, but I’m over at my parents 2 to 3 times a week cause my mom is old 76 but she can still get around and my dad is 80 and battling lung cancer and it’s only me taking care of them ..

its times I had to get up 3 in the morning and take my mom down to the hospital or like every other week I take my dad to his chemo treatment

shyt is stressful, but my parents are the only ones who ever have a damn about me.. NO WOMAN OR FRIENDS HAVE

The one I hate the most is seeing people that age not walking/exercising and still having horrible eating habits
They’ve been doing that their whole lives, they’re not gonna stop those habits at the end of their lives. It’s why it’s so important to get your kids into healthy eating from the start.

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
My pops went for surgery to get rid of his beginning of 2018. That day in the hospital I was all :mjcry:

Then a week later when doc confirmed it was 100% gone I was :wow::mj:

Apparently prostate cancer is common af these days especially in black men.

yea it’s normal and my dad caught his so early he didn’t even need surgery or chemotherapy.

My mom been a vegetable since 2005. Got struck down by a brain aneurysm at 49 years old.
I saw some pictures of her last night and it legit made me feel some type of way.

She survived the aneurysm only to have no quality of life.

She goes to the gym a few times a week but she spends most of her time watching tv to the point she barely sleep 4 hours a night. As soon as she’s back on her feet I’m going to be more proactive to help her find activities
that's key, when my mom retired i hit her with "remember all that shyt you had me involved in as a kid :usure:? well here's a list of stuff i think you should consider, please let me know which 2-3 you'll be pursuing by friday, thanks :win: "

but yea, it's hard watching them age, my mom needs a knee replacement like none other, but my dad is still active and involved in a bunch of shyt. that's why i :dwillhuh: @ people who post here and act like 30 or 40 is the end of the world, i really feel like people's mental outlook on aging, ages them just as much as physical years, and more. you're as young as you feel. gotta realize 30/35/40 aint as youthful and worry free as 20/25/30, but god damn, you're not old either.

keep yourself physically healthy and active, keep your mind healthy by staying engaged and active - puzzles, activities/organizational involvement outside work, reading, hobbies, keep up with current events, you'll be ok. nothing like seeing sharp, active old people.

i remember coming back from morrocco and met some other americans, they were all 78-83 and had just spent the week camping and hiking though the sahara....that's #goals

She survived the aneurysm only to have no quality of life. Every year has been worse than the previous.

Been there. Just socialize with her like nothing really happened. Trust bruh, she hears you.
