Hold On - This is going to hurt like Hell

 And so they ended.  And so the day came we all dreaded.  I watched because I felt I owed that to JaSam.  I cried and now I am trying to accept it.  For the last 9 months we have watch since Sam's rape at our couple start to be pulled apart.  No one liked the story line, we had all hoped for a re-write that would reunite Jason and Sam before the baby was born. But that didn't happen, we all watched as they uncharacteristically  turned to others to talk to instead of each other.  We watched as they were torn apart more and more each episode.  We all hoped and hoped again but alas in the end our hopes didn't come true.  So they are over and now headed for divorce.  I guess the worst is upon us and now we must learn to accept it. None of us wanted this to happen ever and especially happen this way.  But we can't go back in time and fix it. 
 I am reminded about something Frodo Baggins once said to Gandalf :
Fordo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. "

So what are we sad and hurt JaSam fans going to do with the time that is given to us?
-Do we move forward turn off our TV sets and never watch GH again?  Well that that is a viable option and right now seems logical.  Because once something hurts you why would you go back for more pain, right?  Sounds completely rational on some levels.  After all, why would we want to watch a show that is no longer entertaining us or making us happy.  Why would we want to watch something that only depresses us because they tore apart our perfect couple? But why do that when we fought so hard to save this show? Is that why we rallied last year and wrote letter after letter and called and did all we could to save GH? Was that why we did all this to stop watching entirely less then a year later? Seems like a waste of our efforts if you ask me.  Are we really going to give up that quickly?

-Or do we rally once more?  Do we show RC and FV that GH is not OLTL and we want our GH back?  More importantly, we WANT OUR JASAM BACK!!! Do we write twice as many letters now and make twice as many phone calls (remember to always be positive) to prove to them you don't mess with JaSam fans.  We are a large majority of their viewers and we want to see JaSam on our screens.  Do we keep the faith because this is has kept us going for this long?  There is still a baby out there and Heather's scheme will be figured out soon enough, right (Hopefully)?

So what would you do?  Honestly, after watching today's episode again I have some hope for JaSam. Granted, that hope isn't brimming to the top like it was say last year at this time but I still have some hope.   I know how ironic that last statement sounds but it is true.  Why break up this super couple when clearly they have such a great history?  Are they really headed for divorce or will Jason Junior be found soon and they reunite?  I am not sure the answer there.  Knowing how depressing this year has been I am guess NO.  But it is never a bad idea to hope - to hold on to hope.  Hope for a miracle and maybe just once it will work out.  Today if you take away the sadness here is where I saw hope. 
- Jason and Sam mentioned numerous times they still loves each other
- Sam could not bring herself to say the word divorce - Then maybe they should not be getting one
- Sam flip flopped hoping something would work like marriage counseling etc
- Sam never took off her ring and gave it back to Jason- she is still wearing her ring
- Sam told Jason he wasn't just her husband but her best friend. 
-That hug was no normal hug
- There was so much passion in that good-bye kiss -they can't be over for good
- The montage wasn't a farewell send off to all JaSam fans (though honestly felt a little like it at first) it was a message to not give up hope.  To keep fighting.

To watch it again and see what I am talking out here is today's JaSam clip

Thank you SimplyGH for the clip

So make up your own mind on what you will do next.  But for me I will watch when Jason and Sam are on - holding on hope.  I will keep fighting and I will keep hopeful.  I will keep my chin up, maybe someday things will go our way.  I am not setting myself up for disappointment either, though.  I am realistic.  I realize this new regime has  their whole new plan and ideas but for now I am going to hold on.  Hold On to the hope that someday there will be happiness again for JaSam and JaSam fans.
