I completely understand where you are coming from here. I'm 15 years older than Jared and believe me, I think A LOT about the likelihood of me leaving this world before him.

LIVE each day as though it is your last. View the sunset from the nest of each others arms.
LAUGH Watch a movie that you may have seen a hundred times but still enjoy with each other. Laugh at all things funny and try to make each other smile and laugh a little also.
LOVE Take the time to gaze into each others eyes and thereby each others souls. Make each kiss the best you give each other. Let each touch leave a sensation that reminds you that the one you love also loves you deeply.
Do these things to build the memories that each of you will have of the other. For in the end, when one is gone and the other still in this world, those memories will be all that sustains us, heals us, and helps us to continue our lives. I've learned this this hard way by loosing my parents and my mother-in-law. While I cannot make new memories with them, I do cherish the ones I made while they were here. From a friend in Montana.

All very good advice, and we practice it often. I think some of my favorite moments have been when I get him to laughing so hard that he can't stop. And I cherish those moments we both just stop and stare, entranced by the love in the other's eyes.
*hugs* Lasting memories as such a treasure to have.
One of my girlfriends has a similar issue in her marriage. Her husband is 20 years older than she is, and has already had 2 heart attacks. It's a very scary thing. I hope that you know you'll never be alone.
I have those EXACT fears about two people I love more than anything in this world, one being an ex and the other being a current love; If I lost either one, or both, you'd have to scrape me up with a spoon. I just can't fathom that loss yet, and every time I start to, I sob, a lot.
I understand how you feel. I tell Sir jokingly that he cannot die before I do. I joke, but I am completely serious. I would be a complete basket case should something happen to him before me.
