Regrets That Stay With You

If you had to name one regret you would want to correct, what would it be? I have one that always comes to mind. Learning the piano is my go-to. I have always wanted to learn to play. I think it’s in part my DNA. My aunt was a talented pianist. She was a concert pianist in Argentina as a young woman.

When I was five or six years old, I spent a while in Argentina. I remember staying with her. She had a piano in her main living space. She played for us a little while we were there, and that was all it took for me to fall in love.
