She has grown children that are already designated to take them so she does have a back up plan. And my point was to have one! If you don't have one...at 25 or 99 you should! Just like you should for your children.
We could step off a curb tomorrow and get hit by a bus...at 30! There are no gaurantees!!! So...all we can do is the best that we can...in our planning and while we are here. If you live your life like there is no tomorrow you probably won't be living much life!
