just leaving a note of hope

i was about 6 yrs old when i first saw annette in the mickey mouse club and was smitten with her ever since .
i guess she was my first love even if she didn't know it
and when i found out abouther having this terrible disease i just felt so bad for her and her family.
annette just know that there are alot of people just like me that feels so sad about your failing health and we are praying for you every day that god in his wisdom will somehow cure you.
you gave me so much joy back then and you were never too far out of my mind all through the years,
so may god bless you and your family.
a fan and hopefully a
friend,

not even sure where to begin...I am a 42 year old kid..lmao...I discovered the Mickey Mouse club in the summer of 1975, and discovered Annette as well, I was only ten yrs old then, but I fell in love with the woman...lolol....my mother thought I was nuts..to be this preteen in love with a 50's and 60s teen idol..but I couldnt help it ...something just sort of jumped out at me...I became an Annette scholar...watched all the beach movies...watched for every appearance I thought she might be in during the remainder of the 70's and though I became a teen myself...and put aside my admiration for her for a few years...I always tried to find out what was going on with her...so here I am today...deeply touched by the struggle she carries...I surfed the web today for her and was pleased to find pictures of her I had never seen before...personal ones, pics with her children etc....and that ole beautiful familiar ache came back....and that ten yr old kid was right there...out of time and space...in love with the italian lady some twenty years older than myself...you have fans of many ages...who are truly touched by who u are...all my thoughts and prayers with u Annette...thanku and bless u...

lots to say! well, im only 22 yrs old. even though i have never seen Annette on the Mickey Mouse show, i am a very big fan. It was my mother who introduced me to her. My first impression of Annette was that she was the most kindest, caring and most loving person i've ever seen on tv. Even her movies shown her glare that she always carried around with her. When i found out that Annette was terribly sick, i started to cry thinking why could this happen to such a wonderful person. I wish her all the luck and love in the world! ciao for now!
