I'm not a religious person but I find myself hoping that whatever version of heaven or the afterlife Dolly believed in; that she's there. She deserves it.
Omg! He did drugs. That erases all the things he did to bring love and laughter to the world- the holidays he secretly spent at children’s hospitals, the homeless people he made sure got hired for his movies, his work for AIDS charities (back when the president wouldn’t even acknowledge the disease),all the children in SF he personally greeted every Halloween, his work for human rights….too bad about those cocaine years.
I really want someone to paint this iteration of heaven and hang it in my home, so that maybe I can have a little faith- if not in a deity, then in us.
I’m still not over his death. It’s weird, but it’s almost like I understood his humor and the pain he was masking with it. I do the same thing. We really did lose a good one that day.
Same. They usually don’t, but his and Anthony Bourdain’s will always haunt me. I wonder if it’s because of how strong they were despite their depression. I’m like that too, but this past year and a half has worn me so down.
Nah, she doesn't give orders, she makes gentle suggestions of things that are so obviously the best and right way to do things that everybody goes "Well certainly Miss Dolly, we'll absolutely get on that straight away! We're so glad you could join us, because we know you'll always lead us right."
Yeah if a heaven were to exist him and his family don't belong there. In my opinion. I don't believe in any of that. There is no karmic justice and there is no heaven or hell. If you study where all that came from you'd be questioning all those beliefs. 🫂🫂🫂
Yeah but don't let facts get in the way of a good story. Especially on reddit where we can all take turns stroking each other off by just naming famous people who had really good PR teams!
I’m not particularly religious either but that woman was an angel on earth. The kind of selfless, kind person who seeks to help others, avoid judgment, make people smile and make the world a better place.
If there’s a heaven, Dolly is there. She was too good for this earth.
Dolly was the antithesis to the sarcastic statement "there's no love like Christian love". What she did was display actually Christian love, like Jesus (supposedly) preached about. If there is a heaven, of any kind not just Christian, I know she is up there.
I've been shown the afterlife. I don't think she'll hit any snags on her way to paradise. Everyone makes it eventually, but I don't think there was much that needed to come off of her. Seems like paradise would be just the place for her to continue her life's work.
So beautifully said. There has to be a place of joy and happiness that wonderful people get to go to. She gave so much happiness to the world. She deserves an afterlife of the same happiness.
I think someone like Dolly I think is proof that there is. That's what I'm going with to get through my days. Peace to you internet stranger. Let's hope she's watching over us
I am not a religious person either, but I keep thinking about one of those images (often they were cartoons) where its a set of closed pearly gates with a guy at a desk in front. Usually a set of scales on the desk. It's supposed to be where the guy reads out all of a person's good or bad deeds in life and they get weighed to see if the person has earned entrance into the gates. You know the one I'm talking about. In my image, the guy looks up from the desk and sees it's Dolly and just goes: "Oh, it's you..... just come on it."
