5 years ago, we wrote on the plight of Danny, a senior citizen living by himself.
Our last attempt was to get him to a home with care but was declined.
It is with a heavy heart to inform those who have supported him that he has passed away in his home.
As what we feared.
In silence.
Neighbours reported the light were off for a week.
One of his relative managed to break in and find him sitting in a chair lifeless probably for 2 days.
His body still remains at the hospital while his immediate family from overseas has been notified.
Our deep condolences and gratitude for knowing him.
But his presence has left this world.
You will be missed...Uncle Danny.
For those with such memories .
*His life story can be reviewed through a simple search on this page.
Uncle Danny been calling quite frequently these days.
The old man and the young Man had a friendship for years.
The old man who often reminicised about his good old days, how popular he was, a ladies man, his rags to riches friends and wealthy friends who's lost everything due to gambling or debts. His story was an interesting one.
After all he should know, he was send to clear up their bungalows and mansions which was in default.
Often transporting scraps he could sell it off and sometimes antiques that people see as junks.
Danny was a lorry driver for hire
The young man was always intrique by his stories, how life was like in those yesterday years.
Now older and facing various health issues.
The old man took a liking to this young man.
Maybe he was the son he never had.
And the younger man would listen to his life struggles during his seniors years.
Lately , Danny called him.
Explaining he was sick and had to admit to hospital himself.
I guess it's very different with seniors folks who lives on their own during their seniors years.
You've got to be more independant.
The only question is,. how independant can you be until you need help yourself?
And we see this story repeating with lone seniors living alone and forgotten amongst themselves in a fast changing world, unable to cope .
Often divorced, widowed, very little relationships with their relatives/children or unmarried .
They live their entire life in the silent shadow of society throughout their remaining years .
