Hello,
This is a letter to Pete and the rest of the podcast crew. I don't think it would be efficient to email this to every one of them, so I hope that most of them will get word of this.
Thank you. That is what I want to say to you all. I discovered the Dis Unplugged Podcast in September of 2014. October 31st of 2014 my father passed away. Up until that point there had not been a day in my life that I had not either seen my dad or talked to him at least twice on the phone. He was my hero, my best friend, the person I was named for, and the example by which I've tried to live my life. Emotionally and mentally this event broke me.
I was crying all the time, barely able to get out of my bed much less leave my house. I was a wreck. None of my coworkers bothered to check on me, my brother (15 years old at the time) wasn't able to deal with it any better than I was. I was effectively alone. The only time that I could stop crying, even for a short time, was when I was listening to your podcasts. I went back through all the back episodes iTunes had multiple times. In a time when I was left alone and broken you people were the friends I needed. I know you didn't know what was happening at the time. I don't know if you would have even cared if you did, nobody else did at the time. But you gave me a break, a moment where I could just let go of what was happening to me and concentrate on other people who loved the same thing I do, Disney.
Now it is 2 years later and I will admit I am not the man I was then. This is a kind of wound that never heals. However I now have more good days than bad, and I guess that is what life is isn't it? So I want to say thank you so much, for being the light in a very dark time of my life.
Pete, I know you are going through a terrible situation too. But you have something wonderful, you have the people around you on the podcast. As much as they did for me without knowing me, over hundreds of miles away, I'm sure they are even better in person. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as I'm sure are those of the DIS board member and all those who listen. Be strong.
Thank you,
Greg E. Hill II
