If you had read Tolkien's letters, you would realize the close relationship
shared by father and son during all phases of JRRs life.  Christopher was
always sent drafts of the LOTR chapters while he was in the army, Christopher
is the one who drew the maps for LOTR, etc.

Maybe you are just making morbid jokes?
