Hmm...
Like you all I have run through every emotion today. I keep remembering sitting in my grandparents living room watching ATWT with my grandmother. I have seen so many comments about watching with Grandmas and Moms - and I did the same thing.
When Guiding Light was cancelled, my mom and I, well we grieved it. And we'll do the same with this show. But for me their is one difference....YOU ALL!
I have never been in a fandom before. Although I would have been in one for Duran Duran - if we all had the internet back then. When I "surfed" into VH.net and the wiki - who could have know what laid in wait for me. I have made friends in this little world of ours that I share my real life with. And while the boys and the show are the one thing that brought us together - well, I'd like to think it goes much deeper then that.
I don't have any illusions about what post fandom life will bring. Jill and were talking earlier about the next nine months. We want to try and relax and just relish every minute. We want big time, over the top and wonderfully emotional happy endings for all the characters.
So - here's what I hope. Our wonderful writers keep writing, our video makers keep making awesome videos, our artists keep making wonderful graphics and drawings. Let's enjoy to the hilt the time that is left.
See the thing is, ask Jill and Monday - I'm a hugger. I love hugging and getting hugged. So I plan on getting all the "cyber hugs" I can for as long as we are all still together! I'm not ready to let the show or the boys go...and I'm not ready to let you all go either.
Peace and Love,
Barbara
