Ever Forward: A Memoir
Some men are saved by luck. The rest of their life is figuring out why.
Tim Lawson was nineteen when he joined the U.S. Air Force to chase a boyhood dream of flight. He found brotherhood in the hangar at McGuire Air Force Base, a best friend in Jason, and a future he could almost touch.
Ever Forward is the unflinching story of what comes after survival.
From the Sunday dinners and wine-soaked traditions of a multigenerational Italian home in Philadelphia, through the bar years, the drug and alcohol haze that followed his discharge, to the firehouse where he finally found purpose again—only to be diagnosed with lung cancer after a catastrophic refinery explosion. It is the story of a marriage pushed to the edge, a brother who never let go, and a night on the Ben Franklin Bridge when the only thing that stopped him was the thought of his mother's face when she got the news.
And it is the story of being found. After decades lost in the VA maze, lost in withdrawal and depression, and lost inside a crisis facility in Maryland, Lawson built something from the wreckage: GUIDON, a rally point for veterans who are still fighting long after they've come home.
Raw, intimate, and ultimately hopeful, Ever Forward is a memoir about the cost of loyalty, the weight of grief, and the stubborn refusal to quit moving in the right direction—even when you can no longer see the path.
