25 years since he left us - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Freddie left this world on January 29, 1977. That means that on the 29th of this month he will be gone 25 years. I can remember the day he died so well. I prayed and prayed that he would live but it just wasn't meant to be. I will always remember how I enjoyed watching CATM every Friday night - I just had to be home so I wouldn't miss it - no VCRs back then! I'm so glad that everyone here is keeping his talent and memory alive.

This thread has touched me so much. As you all know, I remember that faithful day when I got a phone call from a friend of mine telling me what had happened. I was working at the time in Wall Street. I was such a fan of this man. I read everything about him and followed his career. I had stars in my eyes. I loved him. I and countless of others waited and waited for what was to be. I was 22 years old at the time.... Just like him. Here it is 25 years later........... I've never forgotten the man who made me laugh! The man who was so beautiful. The man who I had a BIG SIZE crush on.............. I waited, and waited and waited and then in a split second he was gone......... Gone from our lives.......... Sure I was angry, just like thousands of other people........... I was SO MAD!!!

Now 25 years later... I've never, ever forgotten this man. I will always love him till the day I pass. He gave my heart so much JOY back then and just reminiscing about his crazy self all these years, he still makes me smile. I will always be his fan......... I will never turn my back on him. NEVER...............

I LOVE YOU MR. PRINZE............ WHEREVER YOU ARE........................

Oh my reading all ya'lls posts has made me leak & I had to get a hanky...

After getting into CATM & Freddie last yr it made me remember when he died. I was a teenager in high school & it was a school day & cold. I wasn't yet a fan of Freddies yet even tho I watched CATM all the time. I was seriously in love at the time with John Travolta, all 4 of the Monkees & Shaun Cassidy. I had forgotten what month he died until I got into Freddie & CATM last yr. I remember a friend of mine at school said Freddie had died. I think I was like Huh? He died? He couldn't have he's on CHICO AND THE MAN. But she said he had & had committed suicide. I thought it was sad & a real shame & said so. I wondered how a kid only a few yrs older than me could've killed himself when he seemed so happy. He had seemed like such a happy boy. My friend told me she had broke down & cried when he died. I think her older sister had cried too maybe. I realize oh man he made some other kids cry by dying. I saw stuff about his death in the news & newspapers. I later read that he had killed himself because his wife had divorced him & it had broken his heart.

I still watched CATM cuz I had always liked the show & thought it was good. It wasn't the same after Freddie was gone tho. I remember them making a big deal in the magazines about Gabriel Melgar being Raul & when CAN YOU HEAR THE LAUGHTER was relased them writing about it in magazines. The summer after he died re-runs of CATM came on at either noon or 12:30 pm on NBC. I always slept late till noon everyday (Still do LOL!) & I would get up & watch Freddie & that was the first thing I saw on tv every weekday then. I'm in my 40's now...

I had forgotten about the show & him until I found out TVLAND was gonna show it & I thought cool I'd love to see it again. I watched quite a bit of the marthon incling non-Freddie episodes. Started watching it every nite. By Feb or March I was into CATM & Freddie. Found these boards & soon I was hooked. Thanks Chico!

This will be the first anniversary of his death since I became a fan of his so this one this yr is gonna be really hard for me.

I warned my hubby I may be crying alot that day.

I never got to know him. I'll never know him.

I want so bad to bring him back from heaven & talk to him & tell him how much we all love him & make him be okay & live. I'm so sorry about what happened to you Freddie. We love you & miss you...

I better qut writing this as my hankerchief is starting to get little wet spots on it...

Freddie I am so sorry I discovered you so late in life & didn't get into you when I watched you in the 70's. Please forgive me & know that I care about you now... You are a real Prinze & a true superstar...

Cheryl - I thought of you this afternoon. Why you ask? Because I saw John Travolta in the movie Stayin Alive and he was LOOKING GOOD!!!! (Sorry Freddie)

.... Anyway, I love this movie. John's body is so beautifully sculpted

and I love the dancing in the movie. I love the storyline too. It's one of my favorite movies. Too bad this picture bombed in the movie theater. John looked absolutely beautiful........ Wooooooooooooo!!! (Again, - - Sorry Freddie...... - I still love you).

I want to thank Catcopy for starting this thread and all of you who posted on this topic. I have been thinking about this anniversary so much and it has me in tears. I will never forget the day this tragedy took place and how it impacted my life. I have always remembered him with love and been grief-stricken over his leaving this world. It was a horrible loss to his family, friends, fans and the entertainment industry. I have always wondered how many other great accomplishments would have been his, if only...

I am very sorry that he did not find more of the much-deserved happiness he deserved while he was here.

I agree that he is not really gone. He does live in our hearts and minds. As long as we remember him, discuss him, and hold the love we have for him, he will never really be gone.

My heart is broken and I weep over the loss of such an outstanding individual. The brightness that surrounded him, his magic -- his departure left an incredible void. He is greatly missed.

I LOVE YOU FREDDIE!!!

(And I ALWAYS will.)

wheeeone · 01-09-2002, 05:24 AM

I read and re-read the posts within this thread and absorbed the love that came through each one...I'm not sure....maybe I was hoping that incredible love would overcome the emotion that surfaces with the reality of 25 years without Freddie amongst us all.
Words and thoughts were too consuming so I put it the best way I know how to do. I sat in front of the computer and waited...I hope you all like what came through. My heart spoke what my mind could not....

THE RIVER

There is a golden river
that flows from the earth towards the sky.
It was created ...so very long ago
within an unfathomable goodbye.

Flickering hues of gold
mixed with the fires of non acceptance.
Dancing prism-like fingers reaching
to reclaim what cannot be grasped.

The river's flow turbulent, angry...
questioning the wisdom of the universe.
Till a weary spirit, at times, slows it down to a trickle
to simply be still within.. with a silent curse.

Searching, twisting, heavenward
toward fate's door like a snake.
To beg all that is for a return
of what there was no reason to take.

The river of gold that carries
the burden throughout these twenty-five years,
Searches the infinity of heaven
consisting of all my tears.

Till the time, within time, when your presence...
will be all-encompassing once more;
At my golden river of tears end
carried through the years to eternity's door.

MariposaLKB · 01-09-2002, 08:16 AM

OMG wheeeone, how beautiful! And how true! I think all of us have contributed our tears to that river over all these years. I know I have, just this morning. You see, it is my birthday today, and when my husband said "Happy Birthday" and I kinda blew him off, he said, "It's better than not having a birthday". I had all I could do not to burst into tears in front of him, thinking how Freddie will never see another birthday here with us! So now because of that and because of your lovely tribute, I sit here alone having trouble seeing the screen for the tears! But it's alright, because I know that Freddie is happy where he is and I feel that he wishes each one of us some of that happiness on our birthdays.

atlangel · 01-09-2002, 10:28 AM

OMG Wheeeone!!! I am overcome with emotions!!! You have truly spoken from your heart and given us a glimpse into what lies beyond what we are able to see with our natural eyes. Like Mariposa, I can barely see the screen to type this, but had to let you know how very special this poem is and how your words and feelings have blessed me. I also feel assured in my spirit that Freddie has received your beautiful sentiments and is profoundly touched by the depth of your feelings and the eloquence with which you expressed them.

I hope all of our friends check in today and read your poem. Thank-you for sharing this with us. I am so proud to know you and have the knowledge that others understand our feelings for someone so beloved.

May God bless you today, tomorrow, and always.

Cheryl Harrell · 01-09-2002, 01:25 PM

Yeah, John Travolta was the reason why I didn't get into Freddie back in the 70's. I regret that now. I could've had all sorts of neat magazines on him...

That poem is so sweet & touching. Reading what ya'll wrote on her had me reaching for a hanky. It's so sad what happened to Freddie. I am so sorry Freddie for what happened to you. We all care about you.

atlangel · 01-09-2002, 03:26 PM

Folks, I have to be honest with you, my Freddie family. With this 25th Anniversary approaching, I feel depression trying to take hold of me. May I please request that we have another candle lighting for Freddie on or about the 29th? We need to do something as a family. I experience this every year around the date he made his transition and I am just grateful to have my friends here that understand and are going through it as well.

I am flexible as far as the time of day and I would like as many of us to be able to participate as possible. I am anxiously awaiting your feedback. Thank-you.

FREDDIE FOREVER!!

Anna 3 · 01-09-2002, 04:49 PM

You know I will do it, If I can I`ll have a Mass said for him as well.

Pitooey · 01-09-2002, 10:20 PM

Wheeone - That was beautiful. I wish I could do that for him.

Today I was listening to some songs on the radio and for some reason I thought of Freddie. It's like I was searching for a song to remember him with. I didn't hear one though. It was a strange feeling though. One thing I have to say is I am so lucky I found you all........ A group of Freddie followers to remember him with........ You all understand what I feel and I understand what you feel and with our words we have moved mountains. Thank you to all the people I have met who follow Freddie. I am so lucky to have found you all........ Count me in for the candle lighting.

Luckymama58 · 01-09-2002, 11:25 PM

I don't know what is more depressing for me....Remembering Freddie's demise, or realizing it has been 25 years....... I feel soooo old!
I am trying not to think about this right now... but I know I will be needing a lot of support and therapy from my favorite support group...all of you!
I will be lighting candles on this day....I have a Toasted Hazelnut one that mariposa gave me on my last visit to her. It will be burning on and off all day and I hope to be here with you all too. I know I will be watching the show and reading some of the fan fiction as well. I will need all of this to get me through.....
It is all sooooo sad I loved the poem, weeeone! It is a fitting tribute! I will be crying rivers of tears! I know how all of your feel. Let's make a pact to be here for each other! I love you all, you are Freddie for me...we keep him alive with our sharing!

Cheryl Harrell · 01-10-2002, 02:35 AM

Aw, I got sooo sad reading all this & then the pic of Freddie on this page shows up & I just lost it... I'm on hanky #2 now... I read one of the new articles that Luckymama posted on the ED BROWNS GARAGE & it had me leaking on my keyboards & reaching for a hanky reading the suicide stuff.

Stuff reminds me of Freddie like when we went to the drs. Yesterday by now when we were in the elevator, a Hispanic guy asked us where to go to pay your bills & we told him we didn't know. I told my hubby later that I could picture Freddie saying that. Course I started fantsizing about being in a elevator with Freddie & told my hubby about it. We ate at a Mexican restuarant & I thought of Freddie & share with Mike my fantasies of being friends with him & him eating out Mexican with us & feeding me Tacos. & Freddie orders for us in Spanish.

Oh yeah he wears his blue velvet suit!

We did get to talking about Freddie dying & I almost cried in the restuarant.

So sad....

We ate at a Mexican restuarant & I thought of Freddie & share with Mike my fantasies of being friends with him & him eating out Mexican with us & feeding me Tacos. & Freddie orders for us in Spanish. Oh yeah he wears his blue velvet suit! We did get to talking about Freddie dying & I almost cried in the restuarant. So sad....
