This is interesting... Because my fears change as I get older. So I'm not really sure what is on the top of the list. Hmmm... Well here it goes.
1. I think my biggest fear is something happening to my wife or kids. This seems like maybe a cop-out, but I am serious. I really really really am terrified of this. For example, the other day my wife left for Heber before I felt for work. I hadn't heard from her when she got there so I tried calling. No answer... So I then I called her parents house. Her dad, Wade, answered and said she wasn't there and didn't know she was heading up. I freak out. I am in the car and pull off, ready to drive up the canyon and call in late to work. I try her cell again... no answer, and she should have been up there 45 min. ago. Finally, I try her mom's cell. She answers and say that Lesa as with her and had forgot to call when she got there. Probably a bit of an over reaction on my part, but seriously... it is a terrifying thought to lose them. This obviously came about by getting married and having kids and not trusting Utah drivers very much.
2. Spiders. When I was ten I lived in North Carolina. I was there when Hurricane Fran hit, also. The day after my brother and I went to walk through the "Green Way" to see the destruction the hurricane had caused. Apparently, through the wooded path a tornado had landed, causing a lot of large trees to fall across the path. It was pretty cool for a 10 year old. We climbed over large fallen trunks and at one point Tim (my bro) walked down one of the trunks while I jumped down. When I noticed what he was doing I turned to climb back up, but in my way, on the trunk, were about 30, 50 cent piece sized spiders. I freaked out. They were all around me and I couldn't get out. Luckily, Time came back and helped me out. I had to step on some. After that I've had a pretty bad fear of spiders. (To be honest it's gotten better than it was).
3. Probably cancer. Ever since I got ulcerative colitis I am worried that I will get colon cancer. Sometimes I think it is an irrational fear... and it is a risk I am aware of, which means I can nip it in the bud when it probably will happen, but I still can't help being scared of getting cancer. I've had this fear since I was about 15. Well before the UC. Actually... i think I am more scared of my boys getting cancer. I think that would just break my heart. No kid should ever have to deal with that.
ah.. way to make me feel guilty. im sure you said one of your greatest fears is spiders just because i said it's not that interesting. but at least you have a legit story to go along with it.
