     I posted this on the Facebook page for UnCONventional, but I figured I’d put it here too:

     This particular comic is the moment that inspired this entire storyline. I was sitting down thinking about how I hadn’t done a serious story in years, and the idea “What if Megan’s Dad Died?” popped into my head. Just the thought of losing someone you loved deeply while you were at war with each other. How do you process that loss when you know you can never resolve things? I thought about Megan sitting up in the middle of the night unable to sleep thinking about what had happened.

     And then I cried.

     And then I thought “Holy shit, I need to make everyone else cry!” because part of me is a terrible, terrible person.

       I mostly cried because I my mom died when we weren’t on the best of terms. But at least her last words to me was “Happy birthday.” Today was the anniversary of her death, so it hit extra hard. @_@

   wow….it reminds me of my dad. He alienated all of my sisters and I was the only one who kept in real touch with him. When he died ( he was a WW2 and Korea vet ), My wife, daughter and I were the only family members at his funeral. None of my sisters were there and 2 of them considered him to be dead to them. My middle sister later on was the only one who actually saw what he was suffering from and that took her son coming home from Afghanistan with a bad case of PTSD, the same thing that had alienated my sisters from my father so many years ago.
