5 life lessons Glenn would have shared with his son on TWD
By Sonya Iryna
2. Keep Fighting, Even When You’re Scared
"“You honor the dead by going on. Even when you’re scared. You live because they don’t get to.”- Glenn Rhee"
This is one of the most important lessons Glenn could have shared with Hershel. He helped Enid overcome the loss of her parents by telling her that they would live on in her, and that she had a responsibility to keep living for them. It’s ironic that his own son will need to learn that lesson too. Hershel won’t have any memories of Glenn to keep him going the way that Enid had memories of her parents. Or the way that Glenn had memories of his own family and Dale, Hershel, Andrea, or any of the people he loved who were lost. But Glenn will live on in the stories of his kindness, his love, his devotion to helping people, and his morality.
In The Walking Dead world just surviving day to day is terrifying. Hershel will need to be strong to survive. Maggie will ensure that he’s prepared to take on walkers, and despots, and anything else that he must fight against in the world but it will be Glenn’s legacy and Maggie’s calm and steadying presence that will give him the inner strength he needs to thrive in that world. Keep living Hershel, for your father and grandfather and all the people they loved.
