What’s most important to you right now?

My #1 priority by default is always providing for and spending time with my children, making them feel and know they are loved. On an individual interest level, I've been heavily preoccupied with the protection and preservation of American wilderness, wildlife conservation, and public lands for a few years now -- not just in terms of giving it attention or driving discussion, but actually donating money and volunteering time.
 
To take care of my elderly parents.

That's pretty much my main focus right now.

Hope they live as long as possible, with their minds still sharp and they are overall relatively healthy.
Hello sherbro , I’m in the same situation… my parents are not getting younger and I’m taking care of them often during the day.

Familial duty like this is tough and underrated. Well done to you both and those doing it.
Is there much more important in life?
I recently went through this and my sister played little role at all. I don't know how some live with themselves.
My mother asked if I would be there at the end for her some time ago, as she was 'scared' (I said I would if I could) and asked would I care for her dog after she was gone.
6 or 8 months later she got double pneumonia and went unconscious. I waited by her bedside for 3 days until she passed.
I still look after her border collie at present, though he is old too.

I tell you this as what you are doing is very important and brings them comfort in their later years that can often be filled with pain, fear and confusion.

As tough as it was for me I am very glad I did it. And you will be too. They will be grateful for you.

That's very nice of you to do that for your mom.
 
The most important thing to me right now is to keep on keeping on.

On a more serious note, I have been trying to be supportive of my sister who recently divorced an abusive husband (They have 10 and 11 year old kids). She had to sell her house, and is in the process of moving.

My Dad is a widower, and he went from HS to the marines, to getting married. My Mom handled all the finances, clerical work, etc. etc. Now whenever I see my Dad I notice his vehicle registration is expired, he has no insurance, etc. I have started paying all his taxes, insurance, vehicle registration etc. He has no income, no savings, and just collects SS.....so he needs the financial help too.
 
To troll my enemies, see them butthurt before me and hear the lamentation of their women.
