"When you asked me to go back,
I thought about how to tell you 
that nothing – no amount of fame
or fortune – could get me to 
return to that life.
 
I told you all 541 reasons why,
but your puzzled look of
disbelief – that I'd choose my
own path over yours – never wavered.
 
In the end,
all I could do was smile &
say, 'Thanks, but
no thanks . . . 
I'm happy
right where I am.'"
