It was a topic that I wanted to write about, but it took me a while to figure out an angle that felt fresh and unexpected. I wanted to honor the emotional truth of what it means to navigate Alzheimer's, but I also wanted to tell a story that was whimsical and fun to read. A tricky balance to strike, for sure. I also wanted to speak to the theme of reinvention. I "reinvented" myself in my mid-thirties, when I finally decide to pursue my dream of writing fiction. So I wanted to explore how Cricket reinvents herself in her 20s AND how Arthur reinvents himself in his 70s, despite his illness. I believe we are never too old (or too depressed or too lost or too "settled") to find new interests, talents, and ways to make meaning in our lives. In fact, that's what living is: to make meaning and grow from our circumstances, no matter what they are.(less)

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. - Kierkegaard”
Tory Henwood Hoen, Before I Forget

“Everyone's life looks fun on social media; that's the sorcery of it. Your soul may be slowly decaying, but there's a filter for that.”
Tory Henwood Hoen, Before I Forget

“Despite feeling intense internal pressure to become more practical in order to survive, she could not fully tear herself away from the creative life. She felt caught between worlds and wholly unemployable.”
Tory Henwood Hoen, The Arc
