Man, I feel for you. I'm only looking after one person and that is hard as ****. Hope you can cope. Fair play to you.
Linked to that, my biggest fear of course is dying before my sister. It's not just the dying (well, it is: that scares the **** out of me) but also thinking how she would get along without me. At my age, the constant fear of course is that I'll get cancer or some other horrible disease. Also, I've had small, very small, episodes of either forgetting what I've just done or what I wanted to do, or doing something silly like putting a cup in the microwave and then opening the fridge to take it out, and I really really REALLY hope I'm not down for the Big A. That would scare the living crap out of me.
