A Different Kind of Conversation

We get a lot of invitations to read various blogs around the internets. Yet, this one is a bit different and a quite intriguing. Collected and edited by Tom Llewellyn of Beautiful Angle fame, Tom invites you to join him as a conversation unfolds.

You’re invited to begin following along on Trevor’s first day of junior high school. Trevor’s just entered hell on earth and he needs to vent. He needs to write to someone with whom he can be as honest as possible. He chooses his father, who died seven years earlier. In his letters to his dead dad, Trevor comes clean on all his fears–girls, sex, math and death. Somewhere along the way, Dad starts writing back. He’s got his own problems.

On Tuesday, September 1, 2009, an actual correspondence will begin between a 12-year-old son and his dead father.

    I hate to break it to Trevor, but all those insecurities and fears about life, women, sex, math and death don’t go away.

    …they actually get worse because you end up thinking you have them figured out, but oh no. You were completely wrong, bucko. And life loves to slap you until you see it.
