***If only I could make a difference and be one in a million ...!
I just don't want Mr. Gerard Butler to end up being like Mr. Mel Gibson is right now - alone and sad .
If only people could feel how strong these words come from my innerself !!!
How loud can I shout ?
- Leave them be !
- Set them free !...

Am I being oversensitive ?!
Then who else can be as sensitive as me ?!?
If only I could ...

" No one would listen " .
But if someone does listen please get some courage and make a difference ! State your point and fight for this cause . It may probably be a lost 'crusade' but you can at least feel good inside !

I thank God for Gerry being against Hollywood's crasyness and for having such a strong personality ! And I hope he will keep on being that way .

... But I pray for God that Mr. Gibson recovers sooner than we all expect . God loves him and some of us too - and that includes me .
We may be few right now but enought to warm his heart !

Respect their private lives for all celebrities are people like you and me !!!
