"Get between your kids and drugs any way you can if you want to save their lives" - Carrol O'Connor [View all]

I refuse to post or comment on anything Voldemort.

The image in my head is Carol embracing Rob and Michele, with both laughter and tears.

Carrol was such a huge influence on me, not as Archie Bunker but as a vulnerable father trying to protect his children and family. I lost a dear friend in 1993 to drug abuse and suicide, and the way Carrol fought for his son inspired me to try to help my family and friends since then.

Carrol’s son Hugh was often on the set of All In The Family so Rob knew him and of his struggles. And here we are 30-years later. Crazy.

Sorry my keyboard is a lil wet. I feel sooooo sorry for the surviving Reiner family gosh it hurts. The only thing that lifts me up a little is Carrol and Rob together again. Wow.
