A room in Steve's Bookstore
Taylor's Room
Some love is lived at a distance. It is still love.
This room is about a father and his living son. About the years you remember, the years you cannot get back, and everything a father hopes to say when words are not enough. There is no need to buy anything to be here.
On the shelf
Still Playing: Carrying Taylor
Poems, stories and reflections about fatherhood, distance, hope and the work of loving someone even when life keeps you apart.
The private shelf
Some writing is meant for Taylor alone. Those pages are kept off the public site. This room can hold a father's love without turning his son's private life into a display.
An unsent letter
Write something you do not have to send. This stays in your browser memory while you are on this page. It is not sent to Steve or saved by the bookstore.
If a story of fatherhood brought you here, you are welcome to stay a little while. Not every story has an ending yet.
If you need immediate help, call or text 9-8-8 in Canada or the US, or call 9-1-1 for immediate danger. Elsewhere use your local emergency number.
