PLAYBOY: It’s been almost four decades since it happened. Does the grief dissipate? COLBERT: No. It’s not as keen. Well, it’s not as present, how about that? It’s just as keen but not as present. But it will always accept the invitation. Grief will always accept the invitation to appear. It’s got plenty of time for you. PLAYBOY: I’ll be here. COLBERT: That’s right. I’ll be here when you need me. The interesting thing about grief, I think, is that it is its own size. It is not the size of you. It is its own size. And grief comes to you. You know what I mean? I’ve always liked that phrase He was visited by grief, because that’s really what it is. Grief is its own thing. It’s not like it’s in me and I’m going to deal with it. It’s a thing, and you have to be okay with its presence. If you try to ignore it, it will be like a wolf at your door. -Stephen Colbert, on losing his father at a young age. #quotes lgrd.co/1B5q3VX
