At Farrah Fawcett’s funeral, Tuesday, The Charlie’s Angels icon’s last words of love, were to the three generations of men, that she most gave her life and love to. These being her dad, her partner and lover of thirty years, Ryan O’Neal and their son, Redmond.
If you’ve ever watched Farrah’s powerful documentary, Farrah’s Story, you immediately get a sense that Farrah’s confidence came from her father’s unfailing belief and support in his angel girl.
Her words of gratitude to her dad, James Fawcett thank the ”greatest dad around.” What a tribute to the power of great parenting in Hollywood and LA, regardless of how old a child is. Parental support is the best affirmation a child could ever need to survive the fame game.
For Ryan she said rather humorously of their always passionate and fiery relationship: “When I figure out what it is all about, I can tell you.”
Her message to her son, was a wise one, offering love and faith in Redmond until the very end. Farrah wrote: “The greatest gift of my life was to be your mother. By leaving you behind I hope you will be able to work out all your troubles and grow as a person.”
Really… the story of Farrah Fawcett and it’s message was simply that there is no greater joy, than to pass on life and love to a child, and encourage your child to live their dream and destiny.
So Awesome! RIP Farrah Fawcett. An angel of love indeed.
