He is such a generous and humble man. What a wonderful thing for him to take time out of his busy schedule to send a thank you to the Zone. Everyone should so proud of our site and of the birthday project. What a well-deserved thank you for such a labor of love! Thank you so much for sharing his kind words with us, Natalie!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -
Wow! What a ride!
Wow! What a ride!

Oh, wow, there are tears in my eyes again. This is just an amazingly generous gift from a man who is so generous. Simply amazing. He's an angel to recognize the Zone's gift. Truly an angel to all of us.
Thank you for your generosity in providing the Zone a guiding light and a firm hand. I think Miss Natalie is a most generous person, too.

Wonderful gesture by a wonderful man! I am so touched that he found the time to send his personal thanks to The Zone, and to read his beautiful letter so soon after hearing about the Sweeney Todd dedication to GOSH, it shows how much this man cares, not only for his own precious children, but for all children who need love and care.
I haven't been posting much lately, lots of personal problems.....illness in the family, work pressures etc, etc, but this really cheered me up no end! I was on the brink of smiling when I saw the scans from the Esquire shoot, but now I am in tears again, but tears of pride and gratitude this time.
This man restores my faith and shines a light in the darkness for me. Thank you Johnny.

Thank you so much Natalie for sharing this very special letter with all of us. They say the gift is in the giving, but in this case I'd say we've have been doubly gifted. His words bring tears to my eyes. I am indeed honored to be a part of this special place.

Thank you for sharing this with us, PTP!
I am continually amazed at the depth of Johnny's compassion, he is indeed an inspiration in so many ways.

This such a beautiful thing to see. Thanks for sharing it Natalie! It truly is a worthy cause and I think that's why Johnny isn't too humble to get in touch and show his appreciation.
And this is exactly why I can always only admire him more, he's given me so much. He does give so much back to his supporters.

When you listen, for instance, to someone talking, there is another voice beneath his words... Even if you hear clearly what he's saying, the real truth is much deeper, between the lines of his words. ~ Johnny Depp

Astounding. I'm so very proud at this moment. Proud of him, and proud of us. My heart, and eyes, are swelling.
