Inspiration
I wrote this on a rainy Monday afternoon in May while listening to Erik Satie’s Once Upon A Time In Paris. What my wife would later jokingly refer to as “Mental Apartment”, was my personal send-off for the women in my life. With this piece, I hoped to acknowledge the sacrifices and choices we all have to make as we age and how we often judge ourselves unfairly for making those choices.
