I wonder what I will be like if someone suggests I leave my home. I'm sure I would be belligerent and quite rebellious. And what of these facilities? Are they ready for Boomers? How will they handle our rock music, vegetarian diets, and many other diet preferences? No, the only way they'll get me out of my house is if I am totally incoherent.
Powerful. So glad we didn’t have to go through this in my family, but some of my friends did. Their struggle with not knowing what was the next best step is well-captured here.
Great poem, very topical.

I can hear the conversations as I read this...such a sad, but predictable sequence. Powerful..thank you..

Why is the greatest generation so determined to die in their homes?
