“The funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective.”

This bittersweet and powerful Netflix “Famous Last Words” interview of Eric Dane with a final message to his daughters was meant to be released and aired after his passing from a battle with ALS. Well? Sadly, he did, indeed pass today. Ugh.
Look, if you know anything about me by now, you know that I’m a ball of sometimes extremely polarizing emotions that I wear out loud and either proud or not so proud on my sleeves. If you know me even better than well, you know that while it doesn’t take much to bring tears to my eyes, especially when it comes to tender, sweet, and bittersweet moments involving my children and animals, getting me to cry tears of “pain and suffering” is becoming harder and harder as the days pass by. Perhaps I’m numb. Perhaps I’m not even alive anymore and I’m just a lost and wandering soul with a not that put together shell and really questionable, err, “outfits”. These “famous last words”, however, literally wrench my soul, and you best believe that it took me all of 120 milliseconds to drop it here in the Diary which is, by the way, nothing more or less than a virtual love letter to my babies … and their babies … and their babies.
I’m not gonna lie, I never watched the show he was on, wasn’t a fan (since I didn’t know his work), and didn’t know a thing about him. Lol, I was “yesterday years old” when I finally put it all together and realized he was that “Dr. McSteamy” I’ve oft heard about from other women. What I do know, however, is he was a husband and a father and these final words to HIS babies are impeccable. Godspeed, Mr. D. Godspeed.
