Haunted by the two women in his life - his mother who died too young and the Diva, his constant reference and reverence - he grew and found fulfillment along with his collection. Now he feels serene, enjoying many joys and memories of his life, dreaming of the afternoon his mother will knock on his door, to share a cup of coffee.
