August 11, 2037, the night before Chad Owens officially retires as an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. It is an emotional evening as he thinks back through his career and life full of accomplishments and disappointments. His thoughts are bittersweet. On one hand, he is happy to close this chapter in his journey, and on the other, unsettled at the realization he’s facing the downhill side of life. Chad is a sixty-seven year old vibrant man retiring from a forty plus year career. On this night strolling down memory lane, he thinks of particular client’s he has worked with over the years and their complexities and challenges. Murderers, child molesters, rapist, millionaires, and the famous have all been a part of his clientele. Memories of people he has worked with over the years and their various quirks realizing staff including himself are not much different than the client’s they serve. He reminisces over his writing career and the disappointment in himself for never reaching the status he had hoped. The angst of shuffling his counseling career with his passion for writing hoping each year that passes will be the year he can make a living as a writer. Once he has partially attained this goal late in life, he then he struggles with the regret it didn’t happen sooner. Thankfully, he has a sanctuary, an escape in his music as he plays guitar in a small club with his friend and ex-publisher. He embraces his loving family and on this emotional night has a renewed realization of how lucky he has been to have them. Although he feels blessed and thankful for his life and family, certain things he would do over if he could. Realizing that at sixty-seven he is not getting any younger is disheartening to him, but he is looking forward to new adventures in the last leg of his existence. Travel with him on this fascinating journey of one man’s life in a world of change, struggle, happiness, and doubt.
