The more and more I see and hear of Michael Rosen, the more his resilience and effortless communication astounds me. A gift of a man, a story teller and conversationalist.

Holy fuck. Having listened to several of Michael's childrens stories on KZbin, this one came along as one of many among suggestions. I knew his son had passed at a young age, but I never expected it to be presented like this. I'm so sorry Michael, sorry for your loss.

Thank you for telling the story. It must have cost. It meant so much to me because it wasn't poetic, romanticised or dramatised: it was human. The best we can ever be.

When Eddie died I was working as a public health nurse & responsible for the roll out of the Men C vaccine later in 2000. Vaccines to protect against meningococcal infection have advanced so much & children are protected against the disease throughout their childhood now. 0:41 0:41 This vaccine prevented so many deaths like Eddie’s. Listening to you talk about your son is so moving, not maudlin but honest & personal & funny. I only wish that these vaccines could have come sooner for young people like Eddie. Love to you all. ❤❤

It’s a shame because Michael’s “Eddie” poems are hilarious and silly and arguably some of his best, but they have this terribly sad story connected to them

So much of this resonates Michael, for anyone who's lost someone close. The 'music' is the one that follows me, finding its way through the cracks. Thanks for this, it will help many, I'm sure of it.

How unbelievably tough and painful for you to live with dear Eddie’s loss Michael. I believe when we are grieving there is no right or wrong - we just do whatever helps us cope with our loss. We talk, we don’t talk, we share, we don’t share, we visit places that help us remember, or not but whatever we need to do is OK. I read that the body deals with grief with the same processes it deals with a major injury. This helped me understand that when we are grieving we do well to look after ourselves with gentleness, love and caring. God bless.

Its coming on 10 years since I lost my older brother to suicide. He was the same age as eddie. I cant tell you how much I resonated with so many aspects of what you've told here, but the two that stick out are the almost clinical relationship we must find with the event itself to be able to tell others about it and the tiny things we lose in the time afterwards. There are many jokes about a man with an orange head that I've also lost. Thank you for writing and reading this beautiful story about your boy.

An Orange Head Joke: A man walks into a bar. As he's ordering a beer, he happens to glance down towards the other end of the bar and see a man with a big orange head. As the bartender brings his beer, the man asks him, "What's with the guy with the big orange head?" The bartender chuckles. "Yeah," he says, "That's a helluva story, alright. Why don't you go buy him a drink, and maybe he'll tell you about it." So the man walks over to the guy with the orange head, introduces himself, and offers to buy him a beer. The guy with the orange head says, "Let me guess. You want to hear about the head?" The first guy says, "Well, yeah. If you don't mind." The man with the orange head says, "Alright. Lord knows I've run it over in my mind a million times, anyway. So, it's like this: One day, I was walking along a beach, when I stubbed my toe on something. I looked down, and there, sticking out of the sand, was an antique lamp. So I picked it up and brushed away some of the sand, when a big cloud of blue smoke erupted from it. When the smoke cleared, a genie was standing there. And this genie said to me, 'Thank you for freeing me from my 5,000-year confinement. For doing this, I will grant you two wishes.' "So, I think, wow, okay. And I do what many people would. For my first wish, I wish to be fantastically wealthy. So the genie snaps his fingers, and suddenly I'm covered in jewels. Hundreds of necklaces, three rings per finger, a crown on my head, and a chest full of gold next to me besides all that." At this point in the story, the first man is in amazement. He just can't believe what he's hearing. Eager to hear the rest, he says, "So what was your second wish?" The man with the orange head slowly takes a sip of his beer. He puts it down, and says, "You know. This may be where I went wrong... I wished for a big orange head."
