Running out of reasons to live.

My favorites. Among the Alzheimer-riddled. Are guys like my friend Ron. He of the broken neck. Incurred. When he fell. While walking. The break has been fused. By surgery. But looks like Ron will never regain his balance.  Therefore, he will be unable to walk. Sad, indeed. Because Ron is addicted. To walking. To exercise. To being in constant motion. He’s used to walking. Non-stop. For hours and hours. Maybe even in his  dreams. Walking/motion gives Ron a sense of being alive. Makes one wonder. If Ron is running out of reasons to live. –Jim Broede
