why can't everyone who's had cancer be survivors?
why can't all cancer patients turn out like Lance Armstrong? Or like Jaclyn Smith? This takes me back to Jim. It has been one year since his passing, may God give him peace.
I am crying my eyes out watching the 20/20 special about Farah Fawcett with Ryan O'Neal and Barbara Walters. Ryan just looks so lost. Their love story is an inspiring one.
At one point Barbara asked him point blank, "Are you ready if she goes?" And there is no diplomatic answer, just an emotional shake of his head, and a resounding "No".
Then at one point Ryan said, "She asked me, Am I going to make it? And I said, sure, sure, you'll make it. And if you don't, I'll go with you". He was choking up at the end, and he didn't even look at the camera at that point. Which makes me believe that he really means it...
I've heard of stories of people left behind by their loved one and just eventually died of their own heartbreak, not long after the passing of their loved one.
What a heartbreaking story...
And it's weird, but when I looked at the two of them together, for some reason, I think about Liv and Elliot. Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay. And it's weird because they're not together. Maybe because I've always thought of them as the definition of soulmates. So when I saw the story of Farah and Ryan, Chris and Marish are the two people that first came to mind.
And with Michael Jackson, it's just so bizarre... I guess that word will forever be the embodiment of his life and now his death...
