Text

You know what? Just wait until you're my age. You work, you sweat, you bleed to make a life for yourself, and you think: finally, I've reached the golden years where I can relax and do whatever I damn well please. But then doctors tell you that you have glaucoma or diabetes or cancer, and you spend the money you've been saving your entire life on getting the health back you lost all those years of working. Your wife dies before she can retire, your kids put you in a home, and then you have your car, the last thing you can call your own. Freedom on wheels...and then that's taken from you. What do I have left?
