You somehow, rather deftly put into words the feeling behind the actual wail I let out at seeing this news. Theo Huxtable was ‘the boy next door’ in a world and country that insisted someone who looked like him couldn’t be. He was the American black boy who publicly, without public tarnish, came of age. We haven’t had someone like him since. I know I’m not the only person who never met him who is crying right now. Thank you
Thank you, brother. That means a lot….especially coming from a fellow writer. I felt like I was grieving not just Malcolm, but a whole era where we were allowed to be young and seen. Appreciate you sitting with it

Yes. What an unfortunate set of circumstances.
Malcom is truly missed.
R.I.P. Malcom.
Well written I had pause and sit with your words that conveyed so much more that just his celebrity.
