Farrah Fawcett (Saying Goodbye)

I have always been a Farrah Fawcett fan as any boy my age most likely. The swimsuit photo that launched her career remapped the poster industry and set in motion her rise to fame. I as always would refrain from calling her a star as her credits are sporadic at best but she was one of the most famous people of her generation.

I can only wish her and her family best wishes. As Barbara Walters has stated she is back in the hospital and it appears she might not make it through the day. It has become evident over the last few weeks that she was close to the end as she ended treatment and chose to live her last couple months the best she could.

I can only say that I hope she goes with the same class that vaulted her to stardom and epitomized the pin up girl who could have brains as well as beauty.

Cancer is such a viscous disease and while most all of us are personally familiar with the aftermath of a cancerous diagnosis from a friend, family member or even ourselves it is still so hard to watch the suffering of the treatment and the disease itself take over somebody’s body.

I can now honestly say I am feeling a little older today as my childhood memories come flooding back and I remember the Farah that I knew as a child and again wish her family well as she lives her last few hours.

It is now posted that Farrah has indeed passed away. I wish her family the best.
