A MOMENT TO CONSIDER

A new school year for Kefei's grandchildren marks his family's first anniversary in New York. Their progress in swimming gives him a language for describing his own adjustment to city routines, physical challenges, and a changing identity after retirement.

Alongside Pilates and swimming, he considers the roles of writing and mentorship in this transition. Growth emerges through small milestones shared across generations, with humor helping the family navigate discomfort and uncertainty.
