      I think all those years ago, he saw this beautiful, talented little girl and he saw her potential flickering like a flame and he knew that, if left to be raised solely at the hands of her family alone, that flicker would be snuffed out sooner rather than later so I think he felt an obligation to 6-year old Drew to ensure that inner flame was nurtured and cultivated into the blazing fire we see in her today. He knew she needed him but through the years, as they've grown closer and into something more like family than friends, he learned that he had needed her just as much. Their friendship is so beautiful to me and I'm so glad they have each other.

    The second she realized he was going to make an appearance, Drew regressed into that adorable little girl we all fell in love with. She's one of those people you couldn't imagine everyone not loving her and yet she has had to face difficulties few of us could ever relate to or understand. Her success after overcoming the horrors of her childhood is a true testament to her strength and she inspires people everyday with it.

      Humans in general too, but children especially remember how you make them feel. Even if they don't know or fully understand the situations, they will remember who treated them as people, with respect, and on the flipside also those who ignored them or made them feel unwanted. I'm in my mid 30s now and I no longer remember the exact details anymore, but to this day I know exactly which uncle, aunt, cousin, whoever it may be that truly cared when I was growing up.

I’m so blessed that I have more constant memories of him & our daughter, who passed away at 7-1/2 yrs. young, through our son & two grandsons. I see so much of Bob & Sarah in my son & his boys.

      @Jalen Johnson Hi! I used to work in East Hampton Village in the Hamptons of Long Island in law enforcement. I was walking in the parking lot and he was leaving one of the stores with his wife Kate Capshaw (she was super nice too).
      I went up to him and told him I was a fan. He asked my name, and the rest is history. I told him that I grew up with the Indiana Jones series and he told me that a fifth one was being developed. Bare in mind, this was in 2019 so I was one of the first to hear about it, in my words. 🤣 I told him that I enjoyed 1941, one of the movies he did that was a flop and he said "Wow, I never got that praise from anyone. People hated that movie". And talking about Jaws, Schindler's List, the list (no pun intended) goes on.
      He was such a nice guy. If you didn't know his films or what he looked like, you wouldn't think he was famous. I also met Robert Downey, Jr. on his bike, Alan Alda and his wife and Alec Baldwin (years before the shooting incident). He was cool too. Didn't come off as a jerk like he does.
      Mr. Spielberg was amazing.

      @Joy Underwood I told him how I grew up with the Indiana Jones series and how much I loved his 1979 flop "1941", which is probably his most underrated movie. He told me "Wow, not many people tell me that. You know I got crapped on for that movie. I thought my career was over. Then my buddy George (George Lucas) said that Raiders of the Lost Ark would help." It did. He's a funny guy too. He asked my name and shook my hand. He was so awesome.

    I cried from the moment Drew's eyes shone. This is why she's my favorite and will always be. Because she's gone through so much, and she's still open to fully love and live every single moment. There's no ounce of insincerity in her. And she doesn't shy away from expressing her real emotions.
    She makes real connections with the people around her. I'm so happy Mr. Spielberg was there for her all her life. What a wonderful and beautiful relationship!
