We are deeply saddened to hear the news of William C. Dietz's passing.
In 2003, Dietz authored Halo: The Flood where fans experienced his expanded portrayal of Halo: CE's story through new characters and perspectives.
Our thoughts are with his family. Rest in peace, William.
My daughter texted me from a party:
“Mom, do we still have ice cream at home?”
We don’t. That’s the code.
“Ice cream” means: come get me right now.
“Cookies” means: call me in five minutes with an excuse.
“Nothing” means: I’m okay.
She said ice cream.
I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t text back.
I just grabbed my keys and drove.
When she got in the car she said quietly,
“People started bringing out things I didn’t want to be around.”
We drove home in silence.
Every kid deserves a way out without having to explain themselves first.
@emily19dy I have before. Even became best friends to all 3 of her daughters, I thought we were happy. She left me for a single dad who's kids didn't entirely get along with hers 😒
