For the most part senior citizens live
in the margins of life. Most you see, are
not fully involved. They are paid courtesy
visits-if they are fortunate and are more
or less place gently brushed aside from
social interaction.
Most of their younger associates are too
busy living their own lives and have
precious little time to acknowledge older people
in their lives.
In is not intentional...or crude...or thoughtless,
it is merely a fact of life
