Making it Count

Today marks a very important date for JaSam fans.  Absolutely most every fan knows what today is and what it means to our super couple.  No one will ever forget what this day means for Jason and Sam.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x08n6zWfTQU

As some of you who have read my blog know is that I too have an extremely personal story that is another reason I can relate to the loss of Baby Lila's death.  So as a person who has experienced this real loss, I can confess you never forget, the pain never goes away but if you are lucky your life can move forward slowly.  Sometimes, if you are fortunate enough to move forward, you realize you need to make everyday count.

Jason and Sam suffered the loss of her child and that was such a profound moment in their relationship.  Jason and Sam did get lucky, though, they got to move forward.  They fell in love and their lives have never been the same since.  They have never stopped loving one another since that day.  There has been pain and sometimes very horrible battles to over come, at times it looked like all hope was lost but it wasn't.  Their love has won out.  Every time it has won.  They have overcome it all: deadly viruses, crazy Dr Thomas and AJ, Carly, memory loss, several brain surgeries, Manny, numerous times being shot, the latest mob threats, Sonny, Elizabeth and her incredible fertility,  Jerry Jax, Theo Hoffman, hearing loss, car accidents and all the other crazy things that have happened to them.   They have triumphant and they will overcome this latest tragedy because that is what makes their love story a classic.

In 2004 we had to watch Jason's terrified expression when he told Sam her baby died.  Then today his face looked so similar to that day.  Jason had to tell Sam he was not the one in the shower with her or in the bed, it was Franco.  He had to tell his wife she was raped because the psychopath that has fixated on Jason finally figured out the most effective way to get to him.  Sure he has targeted Sam before but this time Franco knew how to bring Jason completely to his knees.  There is no one else in this world Jason cares more about then Sam.  Jason would die for Sam and would do anything for her.  Of course, Franco would target her.  This makes Jason feels even more responsible for the fact his wife was raped by Franco.  Jason's pain was so clearly spelled out on his face.  When he finally told Sam she was so clearly horrified it was heart breaking to watch.

For the past 7 years JaSam fans have watched this amazing couple take on everything that came their way.  We have been there for all of the joy and all of the pain, as faithful fans.  There are no two characters that can captivate us like these two can and that is partly because of the two incredibly talented people who play these characters.  Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco really do deserve great recognition for incredible talent and ability to keep us so in love with this couple.  So let's make today count.   Write,call, tweet, FB do it all at least 7 times today to make sure ABC knows fans count! Let your voice be heard.   In addition to remembering why we tune in everyday, remember to make everyday of your own life count.  No matter if you are religious or not, one thing is very true -death will catch up to all of us.  So spend your time here on Earth the best way you know how.  Try to make this world a little kinder.
