An Arizona Ice Floe

He’s 99 years old.

He’s crusty, old, still sharp but can’t walk.  He falls on the way to the bathroom.

He falls and the paramedics come to pick him up.

They told him he has to go to a home.

He doesn’t want to go.

Sunday is Fathers Day.

I heard they’re taking him out to dinner.

I can’t imagine how it feels.

When you’re feeling abandoned.

In Alaska when it was time, the elderly would be set out to sea upon an ice floe.

Imagine that feeling, but amazingly they knew what to expect.

In Arizona there are no ice floes.
