The Best freinds....

[RCMerchant]

 

I went up to see Tara Sue today. She's so ill she could barley speak. Her skin is yellow. The doctors give her a few days. I bawled after I left the room.

  I went home and laid on the coach and covered my head with a blanket and fell asleep.

About half an hour ago the phone rang. It was Ash. He asked me if I had checked my mail. I went to check it and there's a big box on the front porch...heavy too!

I'ts full of books,comics,dvd's,tapes,cards...from all my freinds at BAD movies.

I'm crying again now. For once...I don't no what to say.  You guys are my family. I love you all.

[Mr. DS]

As you are a friend to everyone here RC and well loved too.   The fact we all eagerly pitched in for this surprise shows the positive effect you've had on all our lives.  You're a special guy, don't ever forget that my friend no matter how dark times get.  As for Tara Sue, I'm sure nothing I can say will comfort you but know you can turn to your family here. 

[Rev. Powell]

Right back at ya, big guy.  Wish there was something we could do for Tara Sue, but all we can do is try to be there for you. 

After Andrew, I think you're the heart and soul of badmovies.org.  I imagine the next few days and weeks will be tough for you, but you can always turn to us and we'll try to help however we can.

[indianasmith]

We're here for you, man.  You're in my prayers, and Tara Sue too.

[Ash]

Glad I could help.  

Like I told you on the phone, I set it up to help you out because you need it.
If there was any one person that I know of that needed some serious help, it was you, dude.

We raised the cash, movies, comic books and magazines in just over 3 weeks.

Have you watched any of the DVD's or VHS tapes we sent you?
Take that $300 and put it to good use.  I know it isn't a whole lot of money, but hopefully it'll make your life a little bit easier.

I've been through watching loved ones wither away and it breaks my heart to know you're going through this with Tara Sue.  We are standing by for you my friend.

  I'm putting a smiley on this as I cried this morning, after reading RC's post. I was crying sitting in front of my PC. The last time I cried like that was when my Dad passed away. 

I also cried because I was unable to contribute in any way at this time and I feel ashamed that I couldn't, as my financial situation doesn't even allow me to send a card to RC.

However, the one thing that has kept me going throughout this day (it's 15h35 here in the afternoon, the rain is gone and the sun is out again) is the fact that the family ~ note I wrote family, because that is what the people on this website are ~ are a bunch of truly wonderful people who, although we may disagree on the finer points of why Uwe Boll should or should not make another movie or why Manos didn't get an Oscar for something or other  , genuinely care for one another.

I witnessed that caring when my Dad passed on and I am witnessing it now.

RC ~ warm hugs to you, my friend: you and Tara-Sue are in my thoughts and in my heart. God bless you both.

Hang in there RC, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, We're all thinking about you and Tara Sue.

With love, Bela.

Virtual group hug! 

[JaseSF]

All the best man. Wish I could've done more.

[Raffine]

I know it's a dark time for you and your family but hopefully our little effort here can brighten your days a bit.

My thoughts to you and Tara Sue.

At the risk of sounding syrupey...the best gift I have gotton from ALL of you on this board is freindship. I am blessed to have such freinds. (sniff...) Geez...I get so emotional easily. Does that make me an "emo"? I hope not! Bullies will pick on me and I'll have to go all psycho on them....

I was reading a folder that was sent in the box...it had all the threads printed out that I missed. Among them was a thread titled "Does GOD exist."  Just as I believe in ufo's,alien life,ghosts,and many other things that can't,and may never be "proven," I believe in God. And like ufo's and spooks...I have not a clue to what it is...just that I myself believe all things are possible;that everything inaginable could happen,may happen,or have happened. I think EVERYTHING is part of  some kind of cosmic organic
chain reaction. It's a universal oneness that consists of domino effect interaction. Read Charles Fort...he describes it better than I can. What does this have to do with what I was saying earlier? Uh...I dunno. But it somehow connects.
  Ok...I'll shut up now...I'm begining to sound like some kinda New Age hippy dippy...(yikes!)
So when I say God bless you all...(and I don't use the "G" word very often) I really mean it.

[Sister Grace]

I'm sorry that I was unable to contribute to your surprise box, however please know that you and Tara Sue are in my thoughts. I hope that things are better for you in 2009; keep your head up...

best of luck

Okay...but get your hand off my ass.



Sorry...

...old habit of mine to use an ice breaker to butt into a conversation.



I have been trying to think of something to say since you first started this thread, Ronnie, and yet, words escape me.

You and Tara Sue have been on my mind today. It's been quite an emotional day. Much more so for you and Tara Sue.

It is amazing how people can reach across span of miles, the valleys, highways, cities, oceans, and billions of people, and affect one another so intrinsically.

You have done that with us. Across this planet, among the different states and countries, you are in the thoughts of many; and many tears are genuinely being shed. That is the marque of someone very worthwhile, and don't you ever doubt that or forget that; we won't let you forget.


For a post that is not very long, especially for me, it has taken a while just to write this bit. Between sentences, I have been walking, well as far as one can walk in a small place, to think of the next thing to say while letting my inner woman come out (I call her...Andrew...or was that Andrea) momentarily and having an emotional moment.


I have never met you outside of this forum, or even spoken to you on the phone (though Ash does an impersonation of you...so I'll consider that second hand), but you are someone I do consider a friend; someone I look forward to seeing on here.


Perhaps, someday, several of us can meet (at Andrew's expense). I'll be the one wearing a black ski mask...

...I'll look like this:





I'm back...Andrew had to come out again; Andrew cries a lot.



We all love you buddy. You give Tara Sue a kiss from all of us, and hold onto her; across the miles, we'll all be holding you.
