More comments from fans about what Michael Landon and his work or legacy have meant to them

The question is, "How did Michael Landon impact my life"? The answer goes beyond what I could ever write on paper. This man could never be duplicated. I am sure of that. It was a huge loss to have lost him. It breaks my heart the way we lost him. I always ask, why? Why so much pain? Someone that had brought so much joy to many. Someone who honestly cared. I do believe that there are people out there nowadays that appear to care, he was genuine. I will tell you, I have had a really bad few years. He gave me hope. I know it sounds corny or weird. He never came to me from above. Although I would love for that to happen! I have had dreams about him talking to me and hugging me. But they were just that. Dreams that will never come true. I got through, well almost through, my hard times just watching him on television. I ran to Target and bought every season of Little House on the Prairie that I could find. Which was 1-9. I am missing the last one with the season finale on it (I am still looking). I have been watching them daily and it has to be on for me to go to sleep at night, for about ten months now. My friends think I am crazy. But it gets me through the day. I have battled a disease and watching the show, as well as my collection of Bonanza and the occasional Highway to Heaven that is on TV helped me tremendously. I honestly was contemplating just ending my misery. I always planned to. Wrote my notes to my family, friends and children. However, from watching him, I was given hope and strength. I obviously am still here. He saved me in so many ways that a person can be saved. I cannot explain it. I cannot explain how someone can have such a tremendous impact on your life when you have never even met them. It’s weird. Although I feel as if I have known him my entire life. I have been a "Michael Landon" fan since childhood. I have watched every episode as a child into adulthood. I cannot tell you how upset I was when he left Little House. Although, Laura, "Melissa Gilbert" was also one of my favorites, when the Carters moved into the "Little House" it bothered me. When "Charles" left the prairie, I felt as if I lost a friend, a "Pa". Little House was never the same. That is why my seasons 1 through 7 are worn and the others are practically new. I love watching the older ones. I know that I am not the only one in this world that feels a bond and connection with Michael Landon. However, I feel that way. I only wish that he had more time. I wish that God would have let him stay. He was an angel. I pray for him all the time. I know that he prays for me as well. He has gotten me through the hardest time of my life. My children would not have their mom. My mother would not have a daughter. Although I cannot get to where I was before, I am here and able to try. I have no one else to thank but Michael Landon. He was not just an actor. He was a good man. I may say maybe even a thief. As he stole my heart years ago. As I am sure many others in this world.
