Dignity in old age
Don’t visit your children in old age unless you’re prepared to see the truth in their eyes.
The truth that you are no longer essential.
The truth is your presence once sacred now might be seen as inconvenience.
The truth is that in their fast paced life, your slow steps are a burden.
Don’t chase crumbs of affection from children who are not equipped and self-absorbed.
You must carry yourself with dignity, not desperation.
