This is something I did not want to wait to post about.
Below is a video featuring Chris Martin (Coldplay) and the man, the legend, the beloved iconic Dick Van Dyke.
The video was released on Friday, December 6th which was Dick's 99th birthday.
This is a wonderful tribute to a man who has lived a long and full life, who has loved and been loved in return.
Dick Van Dyke is sanguine about his status in life. At age 99, he knows he's nearer the end of his life and he's made his peace with that. He's had a good run with success as a performer and as the center of a large and loving family.
Well, Dick may have made his peace with the idea of his death but wife Andrea has not as she was overcome with emotion watching that video.
OK, fine, I was moved by it too.
So you caught me. I'm not as dead inside as I would have you believe.
We are better off for a world that has Dick Van Dyke in it and we will be sadder for it when we don't.
Meanwhile, Chris Martin and Dick Van Dyke made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel and that video is next.
Do I want to live to 99 years old? Only if I get to be as sharp and ambulatory as Dick Van Dyke.
