A man shared a story about his ninety-two-year-old mother. “I took her on a vacation to her hometown, Dallas. We were on a new plane. I watched my mother struggling to open the bathroom door, which was fitted with new door handles that were flush with the panel. She was used to knobs and handles with buttons.

“Early the next morning, the fire alarm went off in the hotel. By the time I got to her room she was outside the door in her nightgown, startled. She was also angry, because she had forgotten to grab her magnetic card key and the door had locked behind her. She was in a panic, not sure how she would get back in, not to mention being undressed. After the trip she told me, ‘I don’t belong here anymore. I don’t know how to use a microwave, I can’t find a TV with a dial to change the channel, I don’t know how to use cards instead of keys, and all my friends are gone. Time has moved on, but I’ve been left behind.’ It was hard to hear. It would have been even harder to understand, but on the trip I saw how frustrating and complicated life had become for my mother.”
