In a follow-up to my post:

That's it. She's not coming back. It finally sunk in, as I read her latest blog entry "december 2002."
She's too smart to come back. It's all over. She'll host special events, but will never again do her daytime talk show. I had always thought "She'll be back. She'll miss it. We'll miss her! She has more to say."
But she doesn't miss it. She won't be back. What's left that she has to say will be said on her website. She is happy.
And that makes me happy. I am glad her life is back to "normal." She deserves it. Lucky kids to have such a great mother. Lucky wife to have such a great partner.
But then there are her fans. Such as myself. I enjoy reading her blogs, and visiting her website to see the latest videos and artwork - but it's not the same.
Her talk show saved me. I want to hear what she thinks about the latest Broadway shows. I want to know what she thinks of Terri Schiavo and the Oscars and Brad & Jennifer and everything else she would cram into her 15 minutes that she would open the show with.
It hurts. It hurts to know she doesn't understand what she meant to our lives. My life. It hurts to know that she thinks the media turned on her. They have. It hurts that she is hiding. She won't communicate with us. With her fans. She won't hear from us. But we hear from her.
That should be good enough. It's not. I want her to acknowledge us. Me. Am I selfish?
She is happy. That makes me happy. That's the only reason why I can settle for this. Still, I want more.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

LOL!
I'm not obsessive. It may seem that way, but I am not. I just appreciate her so much. Like I said before, she saved me. She is a part of my life. Just as Barbra was to her.
