John Hughes-RIP

Growing up, John Hughes movies made me laugh until I cried- and they made me feel normal- like Kelly the dork  with the glasses and faulty pancreas wasn't alone. His writing was phenomenal, the lines have became part of our  American history, culture, and conversation- and on a personal note- I quote them  A LOT. 

When I heard the news he passed yesterday- I felt like part of me was gone- more specifically that part of my youth that made me both smile and cringe.  I felt old, I felt sad, and I thought how much his family was going to miss him. 

John- thank you for always making me smile, laugh and feel like I was perfect just the way I was~ 

Special shout out to my friend Steve for posting the following quote on his FB Status- it sums up the worlds thoughts on John~

John Hughes: "The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads... they all adore him, they think he's a righteous dude." RIP my friend.......
