— “But why? I’m not planning to go anywhere.”

— “How do you mean not go? We’re going to a nursing home. The doctors said you need round-the-clock care, and I can’t take care of you anymore.”

— “But this is my home! I want to spend my last days here.”

— “No, Dad. This is my home. And for you, there isn’t much time left anyway.”
