They are getting older
So I came across a post from one of my aunts showing a pic that she's prepping for her death by buying a burial plan with the caption along the lines of they're at that age. I kinda felt a pang of guilt that I haven't really been of help.
For context my aunt didnt marry and does not have any children, theres two of them actually that didnt marry and told me that when they grow old theyd like to be taken care of by me. Why? Because Im the only grandchild on that side of the family and there's really no other younger person around to be that person who takes care of them or that stuff.
The reason why I feel guilty is that even tho they didnt really raise me or spoiled me too much they still treated me nice and gave me stuff which I should be thankful for, but now is the time I should start giving back and I'm still not financially stable. All I can do is send them a lil money for celebrations and just sending them messages once in awhile to check up on them because I live far away from them.
It was different when they said my family )my mom, dad, aunts) said they wanted me to take care of them when I was young cause I know I still have the time. But now when Im really supposed to and still cant makes me a lil sad because I really want to and not just because they told me so.
Kinda wished I had a sibling not just to share the burden with but someone who understands.
