I am sharing this little blue glass that has a picture of Shirley Temple. Though I am not a fan of Shirley Temple, I watched some of
her movies that are cute and at time funny enough to make me laugh. I wished to
have the ability to make someone laugh even for just a moment and she did it
well. She is 85, I believe.
She was a beloved by so many for her cuteness and right
timing to crack up someone watching the old tube TV. She passed away leaving a
legacy of making people laugh and enjoying life with laughter. May she rest in
peace...
But many will be crying for the loss, a wonderful soul who
made us laugh even at a young age. There was an article in Yahoo about Shirley
Temple's passing, showcasing the house where she was born, a simple house just
like ours. She was born in Santa Monica
California on April 23, 1928 with a father who worked at the local bank and her
mom, a homemaker just like me. Together they had two sons but mom was so
convinced that if she just had a daughter she could make her a movie star and
so it happen as she believed. What an inspiring
thought that really came true as she believed. Armed with determination, which
I admired, somewhat paved the path for Shirley Temple playing songs and reading
books during her pregnancy to becoming a STAR. How many people are able to do that - predict a
child's destiny? She must have visualized it every day.
A very good example of what mothers can do for their children.
She nurtured her from womb with love and care. They even have to move a few
times to protect her. Her fame waned when she grew up and switched focus to
doing service in politics such as a diplomat. What a real movie story to watch.
She will surely be missed.
