So last week was Valentines Day.
While I tend to take the piss out of it, it’s not an attempt to downplay the role of love, it’s just that I don’t think the 14th February has much to do with it … hence I call it Fear Day.
But recently I read something that is absolutely about love.
A story that captures all the joy, pain, twists and turns it takes you on.
It’s by Hollywood actor Dan Aykroyd and his relationship with Carrie Fisher.
It’s beautiful …
While it happened a long time ago and things didn’t turn out as he had hoped, you can tell the feelings of love, compassion, respect and happiness are still there.
Especially when you read the last line.
Emphatically, when you read the last line.
Now that is the sort of love that can make the world better. Here’s to more of that, than Feb 14.

I hope she knew how much she meant to him.
Those last 2 sentences absolutely killed me.

Comment by Mary Bryant February 21, 2017 @ 6:30 ami was going to say aykroyd was a much better fucking man than me. then i realised fisher probably didnt fuck a lighting technician within 6 weeks of getting married and now i feel much fucking better about myself.

Comment by andy@cynic February 21, 2017 @ 8:11 amThe first time I went for therapy (after 9/11), my friend told me I was becoming a real American.
Comment by DH February 21, 2017 @ 9:09 amim sure both of the fuckers were hard work during their drug fuelled years so to hold no blame just love shows aykroyd is a sweetheart. or a fucking delusional twat.

Comment by Rob February 21, 2017 @ 8:03 amNot that it has anything to do with this amazing article, but doesn’t Dan Aykroyd believe in aliens?
