Readers may not take it in the literal sense but one cannot find a better caption for the sense of timing this Oscar Winner chose to reveal her heart by letting out the untold feelings of her tragic childhood when she was an eyewitness to the shooting of him by her mother in self-defense at the age of 15.
She opened her heart when she met AID’s orphaned Children in Africa about this incident which she had vowed not to speak in public for ever.
The reason according to her to break this vow was that these children deal with death on a day-to-day basis and also to convey a message of positive feeling to them.
For having a father who was a horrible alcoholic she could have allowed her life to drift by not taking responsibility and citing this as an excuse. The substance of her message was that it does not matter whether you have one parent or zero parents. In fact having a negative example is the best example of what not to do. She chose a life of responsibility and she is living by it.
Irrespective of the fact whatever it meant to these children, it was a message of hope.
