I saw this on another blog. I was curious and I couldn’t resist checking out the web site mentioned: See Your Folks.
My father died 3 years ago, so there was nothing to input there. My mother is in her 80’s, and I see her at least once a week. The website is supposed to tell you how many more times you will see your parents. My answer was not a number. It said:
Your mum is living 6 years beyond the age she is expected to die.

Isn’t that a slap in the face? Isn’t that a gratefulness wake-up call???
