A beautiful piece of writing Cathey, and a wonderful tribute to Graham. I started watching Heartland in 2018 and was immediately drawn to the character Graham played and then in turn drawn to Graham. I knew there was something more to that young man, and wow, was I right! He has inspired me in so many ways. And he brought me to this amazing community of people. Thank you for sharing this.
All my privilege, Leigh. I've wanted to write about Graham for awhile but so much about him had already been said. I'm delighted that I have this unique opportunity to share about this part of his story because it's my favorite!
Cathey, this was so well done. It puts the light on why I chose to follow Graham and how intriguing he truly is and why he is more than just a smile. Each day I look for anything new he might clue us in with. It also explains his tender heart.
Well done! I share the same love for Graham, his works and his community!
It’s like a whole other family that I have come to love and cherish. I look forward to weekly poems from Graham and reading all the comments from the community. It warms my heart to know so many feel the same as I do. I have shared so much, probably too much of my life with his community and have received nothing but love and prayers in return.
I cannot express how much the community means to me.
Thank you, Jan! I think a lot of us feel the same about this beautiful community that Graham brought together. What a supportive group of creative souls! 💕🙏
Could not have expressed this better. I, too, discovered this amazing actor during the pandemic. I binged watched too. All the feelings you experienced I did too. You so eloquently put them to print. He, and this community, have become a part of my life that I am so enjoying getting to know. How many actors devote this amount of time and energy to their fans? I know of none other. You can’t help but love Graham, his heart, words, adventures, acting, goals, and willingness to share his life. He is wise beyond his years. His writings have made me ponder things I never would have that opened doors of my mind that had been locked and forgotten. Thank you for this amazing, more in depth awareness of how Graham thinks and writes and why. He is a man for the ages.
He's a pretty special guy, to be sure. His openness draws people to his work. All the friendships that come along with this community he's created are such a blessing! Thanks, Debbie! 🙏💕
Wow well done Ms. Cathey and I agree with you his amazing humble human and inspiration to all . Between you and Graham I step out of my comfort zone and give it all and learn to write my medical past. You are a great mentor to me and I appreciate you so much .
What a wonderful interview/glimpse into your journey as well as Graham’s. Thank you for sharing! I feel so many of the same sentiments that you shared as I have been moved by this community! ❤️✍️
Thanks, Tricia. I so appreciate that Graham was willing to let me tell his writing story. And I will be forever grateful for the connections this community has brought me. 💕💕
Cathey that is an awesome piece of writing about Graham, his writing journey and other inspirational work. Like you I found Graham through Heartland, then his podcasts, his Substack page and now on his new platform. His work is a light in today’s world, he is a very caring, inspiring, and loved to share his joy for life. Well done, Cathey...
Cathey, I enjoyed your piece it was very nice of you to share that all with us. The way you described having discovered Graham is the way it happened for me in so many others. Graham most certainly is a very genuine articulate intelligent person as you described him. I feel like having become a part of his community has enriched my life. Well done Cathey. I enjoy your writing and I try to get to as much of it as I can.
Cathey, this was amazing, I to learned of Graham watching Heartland. I think as I got just to the tail end and wanting to see more of Heartland. Is when I started searching all of the characters. Graham for some reason caught my eye and I focused on him. I had saw an interview of him saying he was moving on from heartland I actually said NO! But he still intrigued me, that I kept searching. I found a few of his Podcast and actually listened to a few. He was so interesting. I had to learn more, I actually stumbled on to his Time has Come and I at that moment joined. I listen ever since and so glad I did. Now I’ve met so many wonderful people like you Anne Irene, Lois, Halina, Elisa and Trisha, Debbie. I can go on and on. Graham has also inspired me to write poems I’m not that good but I give it my best shot LOL. I as you know have my own blog. It takes me awhile to think of things to write. Mostly about family and an occasional spiritual one. I to have to thank Graham for pushing me and getting me out of my comfort zone and living again. Which as been a long time coming. So I to want to thank him from the bottom of my heart. I. Want to thank you for writing this and letting him know how much we think of him.
I love that Graham has inspired so many to try writing and sharing pieces of themselves with the world. I also love that so many friendships have been created along the way. I appreciate you, Shari! 💕💕💕
You, Shari, are a treasure. I have so enjoyed getting to know you and see you on Graham’s Zoom calls. Keep it up. In a year you will be amazed at the progression of your writing. 😘
Thank you Debbie I have a very long way to go. I truly appreciate your friendship and everyone else, all of you have a special place in my heart as well as Graham. I was talking to my daughter and son in law saying I still have trouble with periods and commas. They said there was an app that does the checking for you. I said yea now that’s for me LOL.
I agree with you Cathey. He is a very inspirational human. I too bindged HL in 2020. I knew I had seen Graham before in something. I couldn't believe I had seen all his acting except one, just had to know more about him. Graham (and you) have encouraged me out of my comfort zone. Thank you.
Who knew something great could come out of the 2020 lockdowns, right? He has a way of stretching people to break out of those comfort zones, doesn't he? 💕
Well said about a young caring man. GRAHAM. Your writing is awesome. wish I could put my thoughts on paper, but they are scattered everywhere . I am not a writer but I sure enjoy the talents of the many people that have come my way thru Graham. Blessings to you
Cathey that was a beautiful piece of writing .I agree with everything you say.I only wish I could express myself the way you do.Well deserved tribute too Graham ❤️
Thank you Cathey for this beautiful text, very well written as usual. It is a beautiful tribute to Graham, and it allows us to better understand how he works in the field of writing, but it also allows us to understand the path that it has engendered in some of us. I also discovered Graham through Heartland during the lockdown, and I quickly wanted to know more about this actor, and I don't regret it. I discovered a sensitive, empathetic, listening person who helps us to question ourselves and see who we are inside.
For all this, thank you Graham, but especially thank you for this beautiful text.
Thanks, Patricia, for these kind words. It truly was all my pleasure to put Graham's writing story together and he was so kind in answering my questions. 🙏❤️
I believe that writing is the most powerful tool to transmit emotions and feelings and you do it in an amazing way. Your post is a great tribute to Graham.
I feel so happy to belong to this community. Thank you Cathey 🤗
Thank you, Elizabeth! I agree about writing. Whether you share it or keep it for yourself, it is an amazing tool. It's been a joy to become your friend! 🙏💕
Cathey, you have written and shared an amazing piece on your writing journey as well as Graham’s.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Cindy. I wanted it to be special and there was a lot of resting and wrestling and tweaking and refining to land on this piece. I, too, am so blessed by all the amazing friendships that I've gained along the way! 💕🙏
