Don,
I agree with you about this one. If he were to be practical and do what's
the best for him, he'd definitely stay home!
On the other hand; he's 80 already. He must have enough to get here and
find a place to stay...maybe with one of his chat-mates. Who knows how much
time he has left in this life whether he comes here or stays home? He may
just find happiness here for a little while and who would deny that of him?
Reminds me of a Filipino friend I knew in Cebu City a few years ago. He and
his wife returned to their home after having lived a long and productive
life in California. He had retired and was nearly 90 when we used to have
chats in the shade every afternoon. He once said, "I came home to die, but
for the life of me I don't know why anyone else would want to live here!"
Perhaps your poster is also looking for a place to rest before moving on...
Ron
