“[At the Stand by Me 25th Reunion], there were five chairs set up for us in a semi circle. Our names were on pieces of paper so we knew where to sit. I was between Rob and Corey, and Jerry and Richard sat to Corey’s left. When we all sat down, Rob looked down the row of seats and softly said to me, ‘it feels like there should be an empty seat here for River’. […] When Rob said that to me, with such sadness in his eyes, it was like I’d been punched in the stomach by eighteen years of suppressed grief. I knew that if I tried to say anything, all I would do was cry, and I didn’t know if I’d be able to stop. I took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and nodded. ‘Yeah,’ I whispered”

Rare photo of River and his father in Key West, Florida ‘87

“His brother and sister Joaquin (then Leaf) and Summer were making a movie called Russkies and the whole family was down there with them. I flew down to do a story on the family for Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine where I was Executive Editor. River and I bonded a bit over the several days I was down there. Here he is with his father after we had traded t-shirts. He loved this one I had recently brought back with me from Paris so I gave him the shirt off my back and he gave me the one off his” - Kevin Sessums

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

“I was in bed when I heard. It didn’t seem real at first. I didn’t really know him, but I wanted to cry- and I still do. There are scripts that come to me, and they say, ‘two young guys’. In my mind, I see River and me”
