Damn these comments are depressing.

WELL OP, I was falling asleep to the same existential dread yesterday and was wondering the same thing. I think the best gut instinct is since your parents are still around, whatever you wanna ask them is worth asking cause the best thing is getting to talk to them and connect in any way while they’re still around or have their wits about.

I had a coworker who lived far from his mom and lamented that he visits her only on holidays and that if he counted how many visits were left, he was mortified at the idea of seeing his mother only 20 or so more times. So, he made some changes to visit her more often.

I used to think I had to ask my parents questions but I realized lately, I’m more interested in making sure I get to make new memories with them, go to new places with them, take photos, don’t argue about the small stuff, and try to live in the now while I’m lucky enough to have it.

Quick edit: it may be worth asking them what memory or something they’d like to pass along and have you hold onto? There’s always something lost between generations (I sure know nothing of my great grandparents), but if they’d like to have a story remembered, a recipe, anything.

Yesssss. This! It was only one season from the ending!

The show felt like it was going off the rails for a while but I really wanted to know where it was going and it’s a shame we’ll never know.

Counterpart! The show was cut after season 2 and had a promising premise. Also, the actors were great and the story was really starting to pick up.

For anyone interested: Imagine your reality splitting into two and the resulting consequences a decade later. How much in common would you have with your other self if the split occurred in your childhood, adulthood, or even middle age? What choices before and after define you? Now add a brutal Cold War between the two realities. Would you trust you?
