News when one's down

Difficult to forget
News that came 
When one's down

When mother was hospitalised for cancer,
Key staff called to say he was joining another unit
When father was in ICU with blood clot in his head, 
Boss called to say no job
After secondment, 
How about retiring?
He said to 55- year- old me
Me not of uniformed or special service

The last more serious than the first, 
A let down. 
Isn't retirement age 62?
