The beginning, sliding down the slide, did remind me of Flying Down Juniper and the memories of carefree childhood.

You see him talking to his children. I see him talking to his younger self, reaching back through the years and the mistakes that marked them and hoping that after death there may be resolution and confessions (truth telling) that have been eluded in this world.

I see an acceptance. If you told yourself that "maybe one day . . . " for decades, now you have to face the fact that that day is never coming -- not in this life. There's not sufficient time left.
