My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
He was 80, and she was nearly. They were almost too old to be anything but tender. Yet their love was as real and alive as in those earlier days of passion and fire. Growing older they had become each other.
