The Old Man

We went for a walk. It was hot and humid and we were sweating, but it was late afternoon so not too bad at all. He had trouble. He panted and struggled. He drank half my water bottle. He was carried. It broke my heart, but he is 11 and he has developed a heart murmur. He can’t keep up as well as he used to. It hurts.
