I want them to have a carefree childhood like I did - sadly, this probably won't be the case as they will have to deal with death a lot sooner than I ever had to. Until then, I will let them have their carefree days and I will keep going on dealing with each day as it comes.

Keep your family and loved ones close - a life well lived, no matter its length, is definitely not a failure.
