Intended for a younger audience, this humorous story based on truth endeavours to share a day in the life of a senior couple; it's purpose is didactic. In the protagonist's life, the completion of ordinary tasks presents a challenge the youth cannot comprehend. Nor do they wish to. But if life has one lesson for us it is to see our existence through a prism of experience and humour. The first is never sought. It merely exists from the moment we are laid in a cradle. Humour, on the other hand, is essentially taught in order to have meaning and it must inevitably be realized through self-actualization.
This is a story about individuals trying to make peace with the lives that they lived. It's a dark, depressing story with some humor beats here and there. It does tell of suicide and other sensitive topics. Told in hopefully a respectful way. The idea was for this to help me sort through my past and help my present state of mind. Hopefully this might help at least one other in the same way.
