Old age..

as i watch my grandfather move around the house carefully measuring each step's worth before fully committing to it, i wonder if this is the cruelest lesson one learns..this definitely is the harshest way that the powers-that-be have chosen to put the point across..some point is being rubbed in, i'm not sure what..n i wonder who the message is being sent out to.. to us, the un-old or to the ones themselves in preparing for a new life...
