That’s quite beautiful. They are, “each the other’s world entire.” Although, I hope you say, “I love you” a bit more than pops did in The Road, lol.
Do you mean that it helped you cope with the flipside of joy and fear that comes with having a child?
I highly encourage it! I’m going to read All the Pretty Horses after hearing this news. Remember these final days before you meet one of the greatest literary characters I’ve ever encountered: The Judge.
Warning: It’s a difficult book. Thankfully, I read it with a class that kept me honest. Don’t feel any shame if you want to use something like LitCharts. You can use it without paying. That’s how I am, at least. When I try reading a dense classic and it turns into a slog, if I get frustrated I’ll just fall off.
However, I think its themes are important today and the questions it asks of the reader can lead to some serious growth and reflection.

I never thought about it that way, but yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. It definitely helped me cope with the mix of emotions that come with being a parent. It taught me the importance of being a selfless and supportive provider for my child, and the challenges that come with making tough decisions for their well-being. Overall, it showed me what it truly means to be a father.
And thanks for the heads up! I’ve been really into PKD lately, but after hearing this news, I might need to work my way back through McCarthy. I haven’t heard of LitCharts before, but I might have to give it a try. I tried reading Gravity’s Rainbow and basically gave up. This might’ve saved me.
