Old Man Walking

 

 

I walk slowly down the hallway in the building I’ve lived in for over three decades and I can see my father, walking very slowly and obviously in pain. I realize that is who I have already become. I don’t yet know if I will allow this degeneration to continue or will I pull the life support before it gets to that far. Then, after walking down the hallway and down the stairs, the picture of my dad disappears.
