On what would have been River Phoenix’s 52nd birthday, his family is remembering him.
On Tuesday, the late actor’s mother, Arlyn “Heart” Phoenix, posted an old black-and-white photo of herself with her daughter River, along with a touching caption that began, “I became a mother on August 23, 1970, at 12:03 p.m. in a small town in Oregon called Madras.”
She went on, “52 years ago, I felt a love that was beyond my understanding. It changed my life and grew inside and outside of me. Since I started posting on Facebook years ago, I have talked about how much his life and death affected me. He is still a light that shows me the way forward.”
Heart ended by saying, “When I think of the words to a song River wrote when he was 15, ‘RUN TO THE RESCUE WITH LOVE AND PEACE WILL FOLLOW,’ I am always grateful for this inspiration, which is the basis of the work of The River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding!”
