64-year-old man and young boy discuss life, love and ageing

In this heart-warming video a 64-year-old man sits down with a 7-year-old.

The two talk about a range of topics, asking questions about life, love and ageing, including a heart-breaking story about how the love of the 64-year-old man’s life passed away.

The video is available in its entirety above.

Our favourite quotes include:

  • Old man – “The great thing about being young is you have more time to do things ... I could play games ... I could use my imagination more."
  • Old man – "You don't have to be rich to be happy. Do the things you like, that make you feel good."
  • Young boy (when asked what advice to give) – "Don't be silly. Don't bully lots of people."
