I cross posted this into the News instance when it happened and posted there, but I have a huge amount of respect for him so I'll double up.

In my 30s, I came across Cormac’s writing and was immediately drawn to his style. The Road, in particular, resonated with me after just having my son. Someone recommended it to me, and it just so happened to be shortly after my son was born, and I think it had a significant impact on the way I parent and interact with my children. He’s definitely one of my favorite authors and definitely definitely had an impact on my life. https://lemmy.world/comment/163480

Thanks for everything Mr. McCarthy.
