For Papa Trailer
As I explained in the Christmas Special, most of the deaths that I have experienced in my life happened during my childhood (The Greattastic Adventures) as opposed to my adulthood (Rules for a Greattastic Life). The only exception was a guy named Henry, who died in 2021. However, he was a childhood friend, so I just included him in the Epilogue of my second book, Once in a Lifetime: A Song For Sam. This means that the first death that I count as happening in my adulthood is Papa’s.
After he passed, I wrote an installment about his funeral, simply called The Funeral. As soon as I published it, I knew that I liked honoring new people in my life who have passed through writing, but I didn’t want to just write about their funerals every time, and writing a spinoff book for everyone from this point forward is unrealistic. The compromise is obvious.
A year or so after someone close to me dies, I will post an installment about their lives, before I was born (in the case of family), or leading up to their first written appearance (basically anyone else). The question basically being: who were they before they entered my life?
The first such installment comes out on January 21st, 2026! See you then.
