Parents - How well do you know?

Was doing an upgrade for my mom's insurance policy lately and because I had to also update her health status to the insurance agent, it led to many information which I never really bothered to find out if not for this.

So just how many of us really know how our parents are?

We see them everyday, but do we really know how healthy they are and how have they been?

Do we know which clinic they frequent for their regular checks, how is their blood pressure and their cholesterol level? Are they on regular medication or treatments?

What seem a small chore I had to do for my insurance agent opened a deeper insight about my relationship with my parents. It's time we all start thinking deeper and paying a wee bit more attention to them, especially now that they are growing old.
