Reprint of Vincent's Christmas letter posted by Sunny via the FOVIPals Yahoo Group.
On behalf of all your fans here at the board, Merry Christmas back to you, Vincent!
-------------------------------------------------------------
To all my dearly, devoted FOVI-ites,
Wow!!! What a year!!! In fact, as I near the end of this wonderfully unpredictable year, I have to admit, I'm still not sure whether I'm coming or going. Considering all the significant changes that has taken place, especially during the latter half of the year, I guess anyone would have to agree that it's completely natural to feel this way. Especially now that I sleep in a different bed every 3-6 days, depending on schedule. I literally wake up some nights in the dark, confused as to where I am & it takes a few moments for me to find my footing, so to speak; or at least, on what side of the continent my feet are touching down on.
Please know, that with the whirlwind of changes have come so many beautiful blessings as well. Even the final days on AMC were anything but short on them. It really is a beautiful gift to have so much love and appreciation poured out on one's self by one's co-workers and supporters, the faithful viewers. What an amazing support group you all have been. I never felt alone or let down, that's for sure! I will be forever moved and humbled by the genuine expressions of friendship, support, and sorrow as my tenure there came to an end in Pine Valley as the dastardly Dr. David. (And what an exciting ride the brilliant, but not so good, Dr. took me on all those years! I will miss him dearly as well; of that you can be sure!).
After nine years, all of which seemed to go by in a blink and a breath, I will carry with me all the days of my life some truly beautiful memories and experiences, certainly not the least of which are the many successes and joys we've all experienced together as a team from year to year as FOVI. Even this year, we shared in another wonderful accomplishment with our fund raiser to give support to the Carol M. Baldwin Fund for Breast Cancer Research. I'd have to believe, from these past years of experience, that all of you must be the most generous and selfless fans out there. You continue to raise the bar in your attention to the needs of others and have truly paved the way for so much more giving in the hearts and actions of other fan clubs as well throughout these years since we've charted this course together. As I say every year, thank you for giving me the privilege of being associated with all of you.
As the New Year comes upon us, I approach this upcoming year with a great deal of excitement in anticipation as to what the year may have in store for me and my family. Perhaps more than ever, I do feel God's providential hand guiding me through it all, which has been the source of such peace and purpose. I'm equally as grateful for this opportunity to play opposite some of the most talented people in daytime on Y&R as I find my way into the mindset and actions of another "David" -- Mr. David Chow (I know Chow?? I assure you,there is a story behind it that's quite funny which was communicated to me recently by the show's Executive Producer and Head Writer, Lynn Latham. One of these days, I'll have to fill you in on how he came about). We'll see together, where it all leads to!
I want to wish all of you a blessed Christmas, Hanukkah & holiday season. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts, both to me and to my family, and to so many others whose lives continue to be blessed by your compassion expressed thru giving. You continue to lift my heart up through it all! Please pray for my family while I'm away and for my safe travels as I zigzag, to and fro, across this beautiful country of ours.
May God bless you all richly with the knowledge of His incomparable love!
Group Hug,
Vincent
