I'm pretty sure this is not in the right forum, so please feel free to move it if necessary.
I have watched Days of our Lives for 37 of my 42 years. It has always been my safe haven, my respite from "real life". One of my best friends was a local radio DJ and he and I did a weekly segment together, "Days Dish"! Over the years, he and I bonded over our love of music and Days. We talked about it every week, at least, and if one of missed we kept the other up to date.
The last few years, I have found a wonderful place here. I read the spoilers, and all of your posts, and especially the summaries. It was great to be able to read all of your reactions and then watch the show later on. I comment some, but prefer to mostly lurk, like Horton the Tiger, ready to pounce!
In October, my world came crashing down when the aforementioned friend was found murdered in his apartment. Suddenly, my partner in crime and "Days" buddy was gone. I kept up on my watching, till recently. My DVR was busting at the seams when I realized the other night I was 80 episodes behind! I realized that the "spark" I had for it was gone.
What I also realized was that, in that 80 episode time frame, I had been reading these summaries daily. Every day, you all have kept me up to date with your vivid summaries, anecdotes, and impressions of the show, so I haven't really NEEDED to watch. I want to thank you for that. Thank you for keeping this show alive for me until I can watch it again. (By the way, those 80 episodes? Accidentally deleted, gone.) And I know I will, if for no other reason than to see John's beautiful silver hair in action!
Thank you all again, Trish
