In the embrace of night, I sit alone on the balcony, drifting into deep slumber, Pierced by bone-chilling cold, awakened by the dawn, my solitude broken asunder.

I am 70 years old, and I hate stereotypes. Are you with me here? Biases, prejudices, tropes — whatever you call them, they’re useless and hurtful. Some folks complain about the labels attached to us as we age. Words like senior citizen, elderly, and old are far less hurtful than other...

I used to say that I learned to love the day my daughter Evie was placed in my arms, her umbilical cord literally tethering her to me.
