Everybody who reads this who is over the age of 50 will love the ending, as your other reviewers/commenters have said. I'm 79, so I qualify as one lover of this ending.

Thanks for following me, which you just did.

I have a question: Do you get paid for short works like this? They're typically shorter than the 150 words (including title and subtitle) that I think I read somewhere that Medium requires in order for something to generate income.
