Hi, everyone. I want to start this post by saying I'm coming back after taking a break from social media. This is hard and I don't really know how to correctly put my thoughts into words about the latest news, but I'll try my best.
I found out about David's passing three days after the news came out since I wasn't very active on anything during those days and news just didn't come my way; I didn't see nor read or listen about anything so when I found out with the first look into my Facebook after many weeks I was beyond shocked.
I met him watching this amazing show y'all know I love with all my heart... From that very first moment he appeared on screen I said "THAT'S MY MAN" and from then on I became a huuuge fan of the show, him and PMG.
One of the biggest joys I have in life is to be a fan girl, and with these two legends I did nothing but proudly wear that title and fangirl about them tremendously, consuming every piece of media I could as they gradually became a very important part of my life... So this was a really hard blow for me.
David Soul will forever be one of my greatest idols. I will forever be fascinated by the passion he displayed in the art he shared. Even when he showed diversity in his acting, music and writing, his style had a unique spark which felt real and wonderful. He was a very talented and cultured man and that made me admire him completely as an artist. When I learned about his personal life I felt a mix of emotions, but what stayed with me at the end was the love and respect I developed for him.
I'm glad and thankful for the years he was with us, and I sincerely hope he left with the feeling of a life well lived; with human errors and joyful moments, and that he was in peace. I know I'm not the only one that will keep on remembering him, since he won our hearts with his undeniable charm, that be in his work or personal life. It is definitely going to be hard from now on since there'll be that bitter heartache when we mention him, but we must not let that tint the happiness he has brought us since we got to meet him.
I'm sure we will find solace in the legacy he left us. The content and memories he gave us will remain treasured in our minds and hearts and I think that's the beautiful part in moments like this; we can no longer be here, yet the impact we leave will never be gone.
I read a post on the FB S&H slash group expressing the person's feelings about the matter and sharing some words a friend of theirs said that since the day I read them they have stuck with me and helped with the grief I've been feeling: "we've lost David, but we'll never lose Hutch."
I wish for his loved ones and for us his fans to, in time, get past the pain and unafraid keep cherishing his life, letting the good memories overcome the sadnesses.
We will always love you, David, and as a great fan of yours, I will have you in my heart forever.
