The famous Hollywood star Michael Landon was a family man. He had nine children, and had seen some of his grandchildren before he passed away. Landon was famous for his roles in “Bonanza,” “Little House on the Prairie,” and “Highway to Heaven.”
Landon was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away three months after his diagnosis.
One of Landon’s children was 16 when he passed away, and he shared his experience of losing his father.
Christopher Landon, shared that he had an English exam on Friday, which he rocked it. He was happy. That was the day he learned of his father’s diagnosis.
“I could feel every nerve in my body like it was all made up.”
Few months after his father passed away, Christopher talked about his father’s passing. Landon’s final words were “I love you.”
“Before, when I used to think about death, I’d say, ‘I don’t want to die at all!’ But now I’d say the worst that’s going to happen is that I’ll see Dad again.”
Landon’s daughter, Cindy, also talked of her experience. She stated that losing her father was hard for her, but she accepted the situation in the end.
As Christopher promised to his father that he will live the life to the fullest, he revealed his sexuality when he was 24. In his childhood, Christopher never thought that he could fit in with the others, where he would hang with children like him, who never thought that they could fit in.
“For a while, I thought an article about me would come out with the headline ‘Little House on the Fairy’ or ‘Highway to Hell.'”
Christopher was also afraid to talk with his family about his sexuality. He realised that he was gay, when he fell in love with a boy in high school.
Some of her family members were devoted Christians so it made it hard to talk about his true self. He struggled a lot.
He decided to talk with his mother about his sexuality. “[A]s soon as I realized I was in love — about two months after I met this guy — I just came out. I went straight to my mom, and I was like, ‘Listen, this is what’s going on, and I don’t even know how I even feel about it, but I don’t want to live a double life.'”
Christopher’s mother cried and blamed herself, but in the end, she accepted her son as who he was. When he talked with his sister, Cindy told him that she and her father knew that already.
“Apparently, he just told her out of the blue, ‘I think he’s gay, but I’m sure he’ll come to that conclusion on his own.'”
Now, Christopher has two sons, via surrogate mother, Beau Landon-Morris and August Kelly Landon-Morris.
