I think I’ll take that last piece of advice. A colleague of mine passed away recently—someone who did nothing but work. It’s only when things like this happen that we stop to ask ourselves whether we’re actually enjoying what we do, and if we’re truly doing what we want to be doing. It seems you have a very clear grasp of your three main characters, which is really important. I’m glad to hear your writing is progressing, and that you’re getting to spend time with your mother. In conversations with friends, I’ve actually held you up as an example of someone who makes the effort to travel—at least twice a year—just to see his mother. I know people who live in the same city as their mothers and don’t even send them a single message. Have an excellent weekend, my friend. Sending you a big hug.
