Summary: It's one thing to make it to living in your nineties, and another to get to that age and still live independently at home. Bob and Terry Rohe have accepted the losses that come with age, but they refuse to accept not being able to spend the last of their years in the home they built together.

Thank You

Bob was my double bass teacher for only three years, but we traded letters each December for another forty years. I just learned of his passing, and am so sad What a beautiful person he was, and what a great inspiration to me as one who also has devoted a life to his chosen instrument. Thank you for the wonderful membrance.of the person he was.

Delicate, charming, and well-observed

An enchanting character study. Leila Day has a great eye for detail (the smell of a used bookstore, the bright pink lipstick and Mardis Gras beads), and though the narrative is subtle, the stakes were just enough to keep me listening.
