two oft-neglected very much below-the-radar almost certainly frail and elderly characters. think sarcopenia osteoporosis and stooping gait. one at least fourscore and four and one near the end of what sounds like a long life spent just waiting. so it is with a small rather pleasant shock that one realizes:
- it is possible to grow old and infirm without becoming spiteful silly and petty
- it is possible in fact to grow old graciously gracefully and with confidence
if i grow to be as old as anna and simeon i want to do so with the same purpose and hope. if you grow old with me, remind me not to grumble.
