Feeling His Age
Alex, now 63, was the head of a family and sadly lost his wife to a swift brain disease when he was 60. The toll of age started to show. His job did help him ignore his sadness.
However, Alex knew that he wasn’t as bright as he used to be. With tech developing so quickly these days, it was tough for him to keep up. He noticed his company changing a lot, and he wished to adapt to it.
