Subject: Re: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE Author: PonderosaLover [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:12:50 02/09/03 Sun In reply to: Mem 's message, "WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE" on 01:24:59 02/07/03 Fri OMG, that is SO funny!!! I have to explain how there was nothing funny in my life in 2002. I had one tragedy after another and I have to admit that having Danny as a fantasy got me through alot. I live alone and I found myself talking out loud many times, explaining to Danny what I was going through. I'm glad to say that I'm getting my sense of humor back now...there's an adjustment period that we go through when a tragedy happens. All my friends were worried, even the church members kept sending me little sayings like - If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it! Nothing was comforting to me except Danny and The Ponderosa. After I posted on the other Voy board - Ponderosa Magic - someone sent me a PM that everything in the world WOULD NOT be alright if TP returned....etc... But inside my house is the only thing that I can control, the world will keep revolving, fighting, killing will continue in the world, but I don't have to watch it on the TV. I just put in a Danny film, and I'm happy. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE Author: Mem [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:19:16 02/09/03 Sun PL -- I know exactly what you mean. A few years ago, I lost both my parents and a child and a friend all within a few months of each other. Then, just as I determined that I would get up every morning and face the day whether there was a reason or not, I learned that I had cancer. For the first time in my life, even with the powerful Faith that I do have, I was in BIG trouble emotionally. One day, there was a flicker of light in all the darknss; there was a movie and an Actor who turned my head. Suffice it to say I did some of my best writing during that time. I used that man and his incredible talents to inspire me when I thought I had lost inspiration. Did I believe, at that time, that it was the the Actor who got me through it? You bet I did! I even went to NY to see him perform in a play that summer. Do I know better now? Yes I do. Now that I am physically and emotionally sound, I know that God brought me to it and He did, in fact, bring me through it. That Actor was that character, in that movie, at that place in time, and it all touched me the way it did - by the Grace of God. I will always have a very special place in my heart for that Actor... forever - and he will never know. That is the way it goes. If DHK did for you, this last year, what that other Actor did for me back then, I know that you feel that you love him. I thank God for him that he was able to do his best so that it touched you the way that it did and was such an integral part in turning your life around. I cannot imagine a better purpose for any actor to aspire to than this; to so touch someone that they are able to rally themselves back to their life. I cannot imagine a better testimony to his gift of acting than this. mem [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
