How Wonderful To Be Able To Stand, Walk, ...


How Wonderful To Be Able To Stand, Walk, ...

What you’ll never know before, since there’s almost no man would ever tell you, how he feels, but I will tell you of  the difficulties I encounter in old age: my feebleness, dizziness, stumbling in the dark, wobbly walking on my hurting legs, lose my balance when I step down in a faint light, ...

You don’t, can’t see, feel, imagine this. While I still have a fairly good sight. I still read without glasses, I was a runner, marathoner before and still travel some 50 km on my bike, you know? I can still step up or step down from the right or the left, and I think I can bike with my hands up in the air but I can’t afford myself to fall now. I don’t believe you can.

And now I wondered, realized, how wonderful it was to be able to stand, to walk, to run, to jump, to bike, ... and keep your balance. Did that ever occur to you?

But I wont, refuse to let me down. I still exercise walking with hurting legs. When I can’t walk anymore, will I bike as biking doesn’t hurt my legs and exercise to maintain my health.

I am still a smart boaster, so be you aware of me, even more courages and as young as ever, i.e. capable of loving. Ha.Ha.

That’s what Opa Johan told me.
