"In books and in the movies you hear about the hero who comes to town, does his thing, and then leaves, never looking back. I never really believed in that dramatic kind of thing and thought I might peek back in just to see if anything had changed…or just to be a rebel.

I certainly didn’t think of myself as a hero and I certainly had had no great adventure in the place I was leaving. All I really saw drifting in my wake were the ghosts of my parents and the dreams they once had for me. But ghosts can go anywhere as long as you keep them in your heart with a good helping of loving memory.

As for the rest…I didn’t look back."
