Dancing With The Stars Valerie Harper and Husband Tony Caciotti “Living In The Moment”
Access Hollywood did a report on Valerie Harper and Tony Caciotti who spoke out to AARP recently about her cancer and how they are just “living in the moment”! Some beautiful scenes here and she looks amazing….and check out that wink at the end. Just love her!! ADDING: You can also see a video and read on Valerie at AARP as well.
What a lovely couple! Valerie just makes you smile, doesn’t she?
And I want to give a huge shout-out to her husband, Tony. He’s just as brave as Valerie…in some ways, moreso. When she crosses over, he has to stay behind and keep on living. That can be the harder path to walk.
My Mom died of cancer when I was a pre-teen. My Dad was in his 50s and had to continue on with life. He did a phenomenal job both during her illness and afterwards. He passed away last year (at age 93), and now my dear Step-mom is walking the difficult path of “the one left behind.”
Let’s give Tony Caciotti a huge round of applause.
Well said Cidra and I’m so sorry for your losses and what your step Mom is going through now too. *right there with you to applaud Tony too!!
Thanks, Vogue. 🙂 Death is just a part of life. As Valerie has said many times, we’re all going to get there eventually and we’re going to brush up against it several times along the way. It’s up to you how you handle it.
Valerie is just so positive, how can one not be uplifted? Her husband, too, wow! Kindred spirits. I love how they emphasize living in the moment. I try doing this because as Tristan said “we are all terminal, we just don’t have a date yet.” Thanks, @Voguerista, for posting this! 🙂
YW and thanks Guys for your awesome thoughts always!! +1!!! xx
Cidra, so sorry for your losses. I’m glad your Dad found someone to share his life with. Valerie is such an inspiration. I believe that the reason she is doing so well and is still with us has a lot to do with her and her husband’s positive attitude towards everything. I can’t wait to see her dance!
Kudos to Valerie for stepping up and talking about this terrible disease. I lost my husband to cancer 11 years ago, he was only 59, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about him and maybe things we could have done better.
I believe that you do need to accept was is and find the most positive way to deal with it. Valerie and her husband are doing just that.
Good luck to her and Tristan.
Thanks Cindy, and you’re absolutely right about the positive attitude.
Sharon, my sympathies. We can always “do better”, but I’m sure you did very well. Living life to the fullest is a good way to honor him.
