Merci Rob (underdown)!
You say:
Of course Jack is alive. He is a character, and characters live forever.
.......
Rob, may I say that I am heureux (happy) that you say that!!
...
And your other sentence is great too, giving us hope:
There are still plenty of Jacks out there, and I'm one of them (Love lost, an all that).
........
Je suis heureux que tu es ici, mon ami, oui, oui !! (I am happy that you are here, my friend, yes, yes!!)
So you continue hoping that Jack is till alive at the end of the BM movie?
Maybe?
Au revoir,
hugs!
