    The best family show ever made. I’ve read every book in the series. I love it because of the hard work they did and the love they had for each other. If more families were like that these days the world just might be a little bit better place to live in. 😊

    This may sound strange, but when my daddy died I was very numb and unable to cry. Being a single father, we had a close relationship. Even as adults he was my best friend, and his sudden death was very hard on me. Some in my situation may opt for therapy, but I watched Little House on the prairie. This show helped me to grieve. Being able to cry for the characters turned into crying for my own loss. It was a purging of emotions that was deeply needed at a time when I was too lost to know how to grieve for my loss. I believe God provides us what we need, when we need it & I’m truly grateful. I’ll never be able to thank Laura for the great healing her story gave me, but I wanted to share my story w/people who have the same kind of love for the Little House on the prairie as I do.

    I’ve been a fan of this program since it first started, when we lived in Florida they used to play repeats of this show and the Waltons all through the year, I would watch them over and over again. When my mum was alive she loved to watch Little House on the Prairie but it would always make her cry. I just wish they would play repeats of both shows in England instead of some of the rubbish the play now.
