For those of you old enough, you may remember the great prime time soap called "Dallas". I remember watching it as a kid, with my mother on Friday nights. Jamie had never seen it, so a few years back we ordered the entire 12 seasons on DVD. As predicted, we got hooked on the show again. Jamie loved it.
Our most favorite character on that show was the "drunk lush that came from the gutter" Sue Ellen. She was always fiesty with J.R., battled when necessary and drunk when she wasn't battling. The actress who played Sue Ellen was Linda Gray.
You can imagine how excited I was to receive a 6 minute video pep talk from Linda. I just received it today. She talks about my fight with cancer, about Dallas and our favorite lines and scenes, she tells me all about her new house move, and tells me how to go forward in fighting my cancer. She even calls me sweatheart!
It really was a pick me up. To hear from the original Sue Ellen and have her talk to me so personally was so uplififting. I just had to share that news with all of you.
