In your photo of 1975 you bear a remarkable resemblance to Rudolf Nureyev.

Best of luck on your new adventures but don't forget to tell us about Finn & Matty's new adventures too. Confess I subscribe not only for your wonderful writing but also for them.

Beautifully written, Kevin. When I think of the date Aug 19, 1975, I remember I had just married my boyfriend of 7 years. We were young - only 24 - and our marriage lasted only 20 years, but 2 children and 4 grandchildren later, we remain good friends and good parents. 47 years ago…

One of your most touching pieces. Of course you are doing the right thing embarking on an adventure to discover the next part of your life. We are never too old to do that. I would not want to think I didn’t when I had the opportunity. When the door opened for me. We are the architects of our dreams and lives. I am also embarking on a very different and difficult journey, and it starts soon and you have given me a very calm and wonderful feeling, I know at my age, and I am older than you, I am doing the right thing however it works out. To be clear because this isn’t very revealing, I am not leaving my city or a relationship but I am having a series of surgeries because I have no intention of giving into pain that prevents me from doing the things I love and want to do. I am heading to that happy grave, love that, but a detour first!!!! Thank you for this.
