A Happy Birthday to Pernell!

 

And thank you all who helped with the Pernell-a-Thon! I had a good time and I'm still enjoying shows, catching up with the ones I missed because of timezones, and with the extras as well.

Thanks to Ginger, Betty, and Conny and do everyone else who helped behind the scenes for putting on this wonderful weekend to celebrate Pernell. I had a wonderful time, saw many shows that I hadn't seen before and enjoyed seeing some favorites. But mostly I enjoyed the camaraderie with other Pernell fans and getting to know a few new folks.

There will never be another Pernell Roberts.  To me, he is everything - and has been for many years.  In my dreams.  In my heart.  In my mind.  For so long, he has been a part of me - and often, the better part of me.  I have most of his movies.  Pictures of Adam cover my walls.  The life size cutout guards me as I sleep.  I have a playlist of his songs on YouTube.  I have all the Bonanza dvds, too.  Since I was eight or nine years old, he has been in my life in so many ways.  Even now, as I approach 70, he is still very much a part of my life - a part that keeps me going even when God seems to fail me.  I don't know what I would have done without.  He was so much more, of course, than just the characters he played.  How I wish I could have met him, talked with him and learned to know and understand him.  How I wish I could have been the friend to him that he has been to me.  I miss him although I never knew him.  He lives, still, within me.  He is as close as a thought and as dear as a dream.  He will always be a part of me, and I thank God for that part and for him.

I was out of town and knew I wouldn't be available to participate, but I'm glad to hear people are still celebrating Pernell.  Kudos to the organizers.
