Either by choice or sheer luck. What is something that has happened to you that made your life actively better?

(So far) For me it has been me finally able to move out of my parents home.

My daughter. Although she has a lot of issues and it has been a very hard road, she has made me a better person and a less angry person. She is definitely by far the best thing that ever happened to me. My biggest fear is outliving her.

My biggest fear is outliving her.

My dad used to say this all the time (he has long since passed). My sister nearly died about twenty years ago and one of the weird memories I have from the period is feeling so sorry for him.

Anyway I totally get it but do try not to obsess on it for what it's worth.

I don't obsess on it. Just every so often it comes into my thoughts and makes me very unhappy to think about.
