I never feared death until I had children. My fear is that I will die before they are old enough to be self sufficient. If they had a father who was a good role model, I wouldn’t have such a fear. However, he is lacking in so many ways, and I feel that he will teach nothing but mediocrity. Maybe it’s a crazy fear to have, but I want my kids to have more than I did, and by my death, I don’t think they would.
