Tell your sister to bite you. Not really, but you can think it. 
I do not have kids either. Just my opinion, but I think that does add a layer to losing a parent or a parent getting older. If you have children, you see daily that life continues through them. When you don't have that it adds to the mortality shock and the fear of being truly alone when the parent is gone.
When my Mother died, I remember thinking that my siblings still had families, but I did not. Which I do, but you might understand what I mean.
Me- BS
Him- FWS (I hope- F)

Oh....I HAVE!
For some reason she is so SHOCKED that "I" can be such a heartless bitch. 
Yes, Pentup - I get what you mean completely. My two sisters have whole families - husbands, children and marriages into the double digits. Here I sit with just a dog (which is actually better than humans ) - no kids, no husband and grey hair. Yes it DOES add a layer to the trauma at having watched my mother die and watch my dad get older by the day. My sisters have something to fall back on whereas I do not at this time.

When the play "Phantom of the Opera" came out years ago, one song included is called "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" composed for Christine to sing about her dad.
Guinness23, I lost my Dad in 1987, and I cry like a baby when I hear this song... Daddies are our first hero's.

I am so happy his eyesight is restored...you got to turn back the clock a bit.
And anesthesia makes ME unable to judge when I need to pee. I wet myself after collarbone surgery...and I was 46 at the time.

I can only imagine. I lost my father to heart disease when he was 46. 81 would be a blessing.
