Congrats Mike buddy. A milestone.
Congratulations to everyone with big announcements here!
Today was a somber anniversary for me. It's been 19 years since my father died. This is always a crappy time of the year for me. Funny how things that happened decades ago are so vivid but I can't remember last week at all.
Sorry Tommy...my own father passed in April 1989, about 6 months before I even got married. I feel your loss. So sorry, but I bet your father would be proud of you!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Thank you so much! I was worried sharing that would sound like I was whining. I was the one who found my father and I don't think I've ever gotten over it. I'm sorry yours was not there for your wedding. It really is those big days that their absence is noticed the most. Mine passed before I graduated college. Gosh I don't know why tonight is so bad! One of the last things he saw was the Columbine shooting. 19 years later and nothing's changed. Sheesh, sorry everyone.
Tommy sorry for your loss and that you still deal with it even after all the years. I can understand. I am certain that your father would only want for you to be happy. My dad has been gone 16 years now. The last time I saw him, I hugged him goodbye, knowing it was the last time. He’s always with me, as I’m sure your dad is and anyone who has lost someone close.
Can’t imagine what losing a father is like. All I can say is I’m not looking forward to it in the slightest. Sorry Tommy.
Looking for Mister Slaughter S/L #78
Most of my close relatives are gone. I have a brother, and two aunts and one uncle left out of 17, odd number due to remarriage.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
My father passed away unexpectedly in 1991 at the age of 41, one day after my 17th birthday. I am an optimist but yeah, that time life really wasn’t fair...
I feel your pain, guys!
Lost both my parents a few years back and if it were not for my children and wife.... my best to those with a smile on their face and love in their hearts...
Well, this thread just stopped me in my tracks. It seems May is not a great month for Fathers.
My Dad passed away on the 15th May 2012, approx 7 months before I joined the Dark Tower. A fact I find it incredibly difficult to reconcile, as it feels like I have been on this site forever - but it seems like only yesterday I spoke to my father for the last time.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Congrats to her, Ben!
Congrats, John!
Congrats, Mike!
It'll be 13 years in August since we lost my father. If you had a great father, it's just something you never quite put behind you. And maybe you shouldn't........
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing. Your dad would have much to be proud of indeed! You've made the family name known worldwide.
Thank you. It's the hardest thing I've been through and I've been through some tough shit in my life (but who hasn't?). Death makes everything else seem easy by comparison.
A big thank you to everyone for sharing their stories of loss. Reading them helped a great deal.
I am Transylvania having dinner looking at Dracula's castle. Wonderfull experience.
I've been trying to go there for the last three years but business gets in the middle. Next month I'll be in London for a week and again...not going to Romania, BUT I'll visit Scotland
Wanted list:

After months working on the Fundraiser; a break and a great beer are much needed...

Hi
Is there anyone in the LA area who is likely to attend the David Lynch event on June 21st at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel for his new book Room to Dream? https://theatre.acehotel.com/events/...g-david-lynch/
I would love a signed copy of this book and am willing to pay good money for it.
Thanks
Anybody have an idea of what's going on over at the Stephen King Message Board? It was taken down in the afternoon yesterday and is still down now. "Sorry, we're currently performing some maintenance. Please check back later." is all it says.
