i never intended to be this old

Never considered it, never imagined it.

My father set my sights on the Millennium. “You’ll see it,” he used to say. “I won’t, but you will.”

I believed him.

So when the year 2000 came along, I was ready. It passed. He had passed. But I hadn’t.

I was still here and I didn’t know what to do next.

I still don’t.

I was 60 in 2001.

I’m 94 today. I never thought I’d be this old, .never imagined it.

I still dont’t know what to do next.

Have breakfast.

…I had a cheese omelet.

Now: mail to me and letters from me.

Then what?
