The same toe my esteemed colleague and Jackophile broke.
I was searching for an image to use on her 'get well soon toe' card and came across a page from a 1970's copy of 'Jackie' that was in my ephemera bag. Let me explain my thinking (who am I talking to? Only the Flowster will read it, until the mini series and movie anwyay - it's a film!!!!).
I am a smitten kitten who has hard stuff to deal with and at times it feels like the only thing that keeps me going is love. So here was the 'Jackie' page - a hand drawn story of young love where the hero, Colin, is sweet and loving but also tough and chivalrous. He even feels capable of fighting off a Great White to protect his love - always ambitious those 'Jackie' boys.
Anyway in my fevered brain the shark became the toe and all the attendant hassles and Colin became........ :-) it's a secret. :-)
The card read 'Love Heals All'. I don't actually believe that, I was being ironic but I can tell you what I know to be true. True love, reciprocated, heals an awful lot.
So whoever your 'Jackie' hero is hold on tight to him (or her, no homophobes here :-)) and be grateful you have them.
(Flo that is going to sound fantastic when the narrator reads it at the start of the film!!! Is Richard Burton still dead do you know?)
Seriously. Thank you for this Flo, I love it. I can't wait to get started, it's going to be totally groovy :-)
