Another friend offered similar advice over lunch. I asked him, “What would you do if the situation was reversed?” “I told you,” he said. “I wouldn’t take him. It’s not worth it. You and Atti have a great life. Your first book just came out. You’re on top of the world. Why change it?” “No. I meant what would you have me do if you were the one who was old, in pain, alone, and had no place to call home?”
