My Dad has started selling his gold. It alarmed all of us at first. Is this what happens when you don’t save your money? When you live hard and fast and do all the stereotypical things in the 80s? Fast cars and women and cocaine and reckless nights you don’t remember? Is this what happens when a lifetime catches up with you? When you never thought you’d have to be responsible for anything in your 70s and then there are you with no income and a house and a wife and you didn't think it was going to go this way.
"a constant reminder, a sacred stray thing." Wow, deeply beautiful.
