Stephen King's Birthday

It's the first day of Autumn!

I couldn't wait for this time of year...

The temps aren't as cool as I'd like...

at 2 a.m. it's 88 degrees  

but it's ok, it's supposed to rain later today

& even if it doesn't...it matters very little because

today is

 Stephen King's Birthday!!

 

 

 

This man is very important to me..

I've been reading him since I was a child.

His stories are pieces of time suspended in a bubble for me.

I know where I was when I read each and every book.

husband being mean?

Who cares?

 Go visit the people in Bridgton, Maine

as they try to find their way through an unending

Mist. 

Siblings acting like morons?

Whatever...

at least you aren't being chased down by 

the Boogeyman    

 

He has stood by me through thick and thin...

from the sleepless nights brought on by a newborn

to the all night vigils at the bedside of an ill parent.  

He is a man I can truly count on.

 

He can scare me with a simple set of chattery teeth.

He can horrify me with an innocuous hiking trip.

A peaceful red eye flight can go very wrong when you fly with him.

He's there to change your perspective, to make you realize

that the thing you've been afraid of is nothing compared to what can really happen.

I expect he will be around long after I am gone..his stories are timeless 

and therefor he is immortal.

 

we are having a party in his honor today..

you can read about it on this week's Haunted Humpday.

 

 

 

 

So to this lovely man 

that has both terrified and comforted me

 all on the same page..

 

Happy Birthday.
