Molly Shannon is such a wonderfully human superstar.
ReplyStephen , gets to be real and still have a fantastic opportunity to express everything that allows others too shine. That what makes him a unique superstar
ReplyShe closely resembles Tish Cattigan. Just a fact.
ReplyLove you both so much, thank you for sharing your pained inner selves. Thank you for the opportunity to cry with you.
ReplyHugs!
ReplyI hate me you hate me stay safe folks.
ReplyI have a whole new outlook and appreciation for Molly Shannon now. (I already loved her, but this just resonates with me) I’ve had A LOT of loss in my life. Besides the 2 I’m going to mention here, there have been more deaths of people I love than most people I know especially of my generation. When I was 3, I was SOOO EXCITED to become a big sister, but when my brother Matthew was born he was born severely disabled, one of his birth defects, at the time of his birth doctors said there were only 8 other people KNOWN of alive with it in the WORLD. So I had to learn what death was, & told he was going to die pretty much every year of his life.
ReplyMy parents disagreed on how to handle life after his birth, which lead to their divorce, which was a lot of trauma for a munchkin like me.
My brother lived to be 22, almost 23. I’m a better person for simply having known him. He was a miracle, survived over 20 operations including 2 full body casts, contracting HEP C from blood transfusions in the 1980s when donor blood wasn’t thoroughly screened. He also would have to eat through a feeding tube after the first 4-5 years he was alive. When he’d swallow it would end up in his lungs and he would end up with pneumonia in the hospital. It was awful. But he was such a tough lil guy. He affected the lives of everyone whom ever met him; as he was so unique.
I’ve had a lot of other losses of loved ones too, in fact in 2020, I had the VERY unfortunate experience of finding my best friend deceased in her apartment. It’s a lot to deal with, I get emotional easily and I try to appreciate as much as I can of life everyday.
I love Molly Shannon
ReplyThis reminds a tragedy that happened in my city of Mogadishu back in 1989.
The immediate family who lived behind our house was moving to another city on the other side of the country. Unfortunately their truck had a major crash and it fell down from mountainous region. All but two – a toddler girl and her old brother – survived. They were brought back to our neighbourhood. Everyone was tying to take care of them, trying to help them for months until they moved. As a nine-year-old boy, I still remember them, especially the boy who had a large permanent scar on his face from the accident.
ReplyOHMYGOSH When Molly Shannon Thanked Stephen Colbert I Cried… Hard
ReplyUgh. I didn’t know I needed this little dual interview. I’ve been fans of them both for so long, they’re both so warm and effervescent, it was lovely seeing them reflected off of one another.
ReplyOuch. Painful losses.
ReplySuperhumans.
ReplyFeel like I eavesdropped on a private conversation.
ReplyMolly is a treasure!!!
ReplyIncredible showing of vulnerability. One hell of an interview.
ReplyMolly is one of my favorite people ever. I find her WILDLY entertaining.
ReplyI wonder if her character Mary Kathrine Gallagher was named in honor of her sisters Mary and Kate. Maybe a coincidence I’m not sure. She is such a great comedian.
