Farrah Fawcett Dies

It is with sadness that I note the passing away from cancer of one of my generations' favourite icons, Farrah Fawcett. It is sad partly because I have faced my cancer demons too, partly because she was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world when I was growing up, and the fact that she was still young. Farrah certainly had her moments as an actress, especially in Charlies Angels as a young woman and later in Hollywood. I also recognize the singular love for her of her long time partner Ryan O'Neill. It is precisely that kind of deep and tender love that makes this world a wonderful place and strong families such a great sanctuary from the world. The kind of love I have for my beautiful wife.
