Sad letter
I received today a letter from a friend of a man I wrote to recently
who was in Lord of the Rings (he was a King Ring Bearer, seen in the beginning of the first film holding one of the rings). Anyway, I got a letter from his friend who told me he's dying and is not expected to live more than a few months. He's got cancer. I don't think I gave his address here and so I won't now.... but it's sad indeed. However, I thought to share that the person said that he loved my letter and saved it and was thrilled that someone wrote and cared. Basically we collect autographs from these people without knowing them or their lives and just want an autograph. But it's cool when our words touch them and they respond in kind and make our day too. I am happy to have made his day and am going to send him a card and tell him thanks for making mine too. It's also these "lesser" celebs where we get all this valuable information, insight into films and personal connections and that's what I love more than to writing A list celebs... I feel in a small way this is a unique hobby in which we can utilize it not only for selfish reasons, but to give to others at the same time; enriching both sides. Sappy I know, but at receiving this sad news and knowing a VERY small bit (and I mean very as I am alive and well and fairly healthy) what he must be feeling... it's time like this we can give back. I plan to write him this week; I just need to come up with the right words. |

When you do write him again, say "Hi" for me, and that I'm sorry to
hear his sad news. |
