A few years ago I was cast in the lead role of "Candy" the femme fatale in the world premiere of Whatever Your Heart Desires, by Christine Rosensteel-Savalla. I had the privilege of working with the very talented Pat Crawford-Brown who played the unfortunate victim in Candy's scheme to win her love. In the play, Candy concocts a scheme in which she intentionally poisons the elderly Brown "just a little bit", with the intention of "taking care of her" and winning her love. The play depicts the unfortunate world of elder abuse. In real life, during the run of this show, I was care taking for a dear friend, Mary, that I had looked after for seven years helping to facilitate her reaching a beautiful 103 years of life. I will never forget leaving the closing night of the play to be by Mary's side in her final hours. Today, I still spend time with Mary's two sons and my dear friends, Derek and Trevor, 88 and 91 years of age.
