When the time comes, do you expect your grown children to be there, or at least be with you in your final days?

Asked by SQUEEKY2 (23135points) December 4th, 2014

My father wants to retire in South America with his new wife, and as cruel as this sounds I will not go down there at all, I won’t be going down to sit by a bed or view him in a box.
My Father and I get along quite well, and talk at least 2 or 3 times a week via Skype, I visit him a couple times a year where he lives now a 10+ hour drive.
So don’t think I dislike my Dad.
I just won’t travel to South America when his time comes.
So Back to my question, no matter where you are, or where your adult children are do expect them to be there with you when your time comes?
