Description
An account of the resource
In this column, Cormier writes of embracing middle age and the ease that comes from no longer worrying about the hustle and struggles of younger years. While he still feels like the same person, he also notes a disconnect with his aging body. He also recalls being 18 seeing his father sleeping on the couch and pitying him for his disconnect from the world. Now he is that father, content with those same circumstances.

An account of the resource
In this two-page typed draft of a letter to a family friend, Catherine, Cormier conveys sympathy to her and her family over the loss of her father. With at least a dozen pen edits, this copy clearly shows revisions. In it, he encourages her to explore fiction writing and shares that his own father's death was devasting to him. He also says writing about his father's death started as personal and therapeutic yet became a book. He encourages her to consider turning her experiences into some sort of literary effort.
