    Assuming present trajectory, taken care of, but regretting being the last man out the door of the family I grew up with, I’m regretfully sure I haven’t met anyone yet who will be there after those folks I’ll miss have all gone.

      family I grew up with

      I appreciate the ambiguous yet honest and poignant phrasing here. Its reminiscent of how my mother is specified as biological most of the time despite the fact that I don’t call anyone else Mom. It seems sad but I know plenty of people root for me in their own way and thats enough for me :)
