I just checked out Chris's site and I was shocked. TV DAVE is gone? I didn't even know he was ill, I never met him but I had come to care for him and now...now I'm going to miss him this really has really got me feeling down this is truly a sad day. |
I am very, VERY upset to hear about this. I hadn't heard anything about health problems, either.
I have intense feelings of guilt and depression right now. Dave had written a short 4-chapter story (The Final Farewell) that takes place in the days following Sabrina's death in Chapter 6 of Tabitha. He entrusted me to edit it for him. I've been working on it off and on since November, and I was only 4 pages from finishing the work.
The story was extremely sad and depressing. I cried the first time I read it. I couldn't edit more than a page or two at a time, because I would get too emotional to work on it. (And because TV Dave had an interesting philosophy on the use of commas and other punctuation )
I feel absolutely horrible that I never got the story back to Dave for him to check it out.
I'm going to need a few days to get over this. This follows too closely to a personal loss of my own.... I make a solemn vow to myself, though, that I will finish Dave's work and submit it to Chris before the end of April.
My prayers go to Dave's family and friends. _________________ Hortmage, the Magic Gardener

I'd seen it too, when he'd first started writing it. Definitely an emotional piece of work, no doubt.
Time I rededicated myself to this forum. I had a small backlog of private messages, one from TVDave roughly a week before he passed away ... the man was in such high spirits!
Damn me, anyway, for not dedicating the time I used to.

Don't kick yourself about it. You've been busy and got distracted. It happens to all of us. The thing to do now is to take a step back, look at what's going on around you, marshall your forces and get back in the game.
