Both of my parents passed away before they needed special health-care (my mother at 29, my father at 83), so I'm not in the situation of most of the posters above. Hopefully I'll pass away without putting a burden on my kids!

Rick, get your revenge.
Seriously though, the care I was able to give my mom as she was fading was precious stuff. She gave me so much that I took for granted as a child it was somehow comforting to do what I could as she became more needy, like a child.
