gratitude for Michaels influence as Pa in my life

At age 11 my dad abandoned me because he was having a midlife crisis. I would hungrily watch Laura and Pa interact on Little House because I so needed a loving father. The man and his life of faith, love and family were the seeds planted in my heart. When i became college age, i could hope in God and love ONLY because of the examples he gave me in the series, Little House. Because of Michael Landon, I became a believer in Jesus, received true peace and inner acceptance--Those of you who think Michael was only a "good man" and didn't receive Jesus and go to heaven, don't know the loving God I do. I read two of his children's books about his life and especially his last days on the earth. Clearly, he opened his heart and received the One he had heard of and believed in. His mother in law was a strong Christian whose godly influence and examples of faith in Christ were very influential to him, his daughter wrote of in the book,"I Promised Dad".
Thank You God, for giving us Michael for the short time you did. He led so many of us out of hopelessness to YOU. I am hopeful to meet him with You someday.
