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 :)

Honestly the way I see it, if you need to distinguish bio-family-members, something has gone horribly wrong, or you're adopted and doing a heritage understanding project
