When I read Old Man , I was scared I thought it was me.
Old Man reminds me so much af Smokey who can to us late in life at least 17, and was expected to be gone in 6 months, but was our Friend for 6 years!!!
And its nice that whatever trials and tribulations Your OLd Man may have had in his youth, in his mature years he was in a very good place, where he had friends and food , and when the time came, someone to see that his becoming an Angel came painlessly , and now The Old Mans in Paradise now.
And Old Man will be there to greet you, young vital and hapy again when you meet again in love.
One Fine Day.
