What a wonderful video.... such a sweet surprise. I do hope that Jared’s spirits are never too far down when he must be away from his family so often. I’m glad that the SPN family is always close at hand to love and support him. I feel a wee bit guilty for wanting 50 more seasons of Supernatural and a con every weekend, but it’s not like they don’t love what they do. Still, Jared and Jensen and Misha and the others have done so much for us, and it really goes above and beyond any TV or movie star I’ve ever heard of. Can anyone compare? I’ve never loved the stars of a show equally (if not more) than the characters they portray. I’m so grateful to be part of this wonderful thing. Honestly, I’ve gone through some of the worst crap this year. After three years of being abused in a relationship, I got out but was left in kind of a limbo. I’d lost myself, lost my identity, lost all of my friends and everything I knew. It was allowing myself to feel OK for being me and loving the things that I loved - Supernatural being one of them - that helped me recover. I’d loved the show since Season 1 but stopped watching (and pretty much doing anything for myself) when my ex took over my mind. Getting back to Supernatural actually reminded me of who I was. It felt like taking an old security blanket out of the box and wrapping myself up in it. If I ever did work up the nerve to meet Jared and Jensen in person, I would struggle to find a way to tell them that. I’m sure they’ve heard it a thousand ways, because we’ve all been so impacted... and I’ve come to realize, it’s not really just the plot or the characters of this particular show. It’s the FAMILY that the actors have cultivated and the fans have nurtured... that’s what makes this something so special and rare.
