During Farrah Fawcett’s remaining moments in the hospital, Ryan O’Neal laid next to her and made a poignant request. In a 2012 appearance on “The View” (via Yahoo), O’Neal revealed what came out of his mouth as Fawcett was dying. Visibly emotional, he recalled, “I climbed into bed with her and I asked for forgiveness. I said please forgive me.” A few years before that he shared another heartfelt sentiment he had expressed to her. “[In her final moments], I said I’d see her soon, and I see her every day. I write to her in my journal,” he told Today (via Us Weekly). O’Neal was deeply affected by his love’s passing and was devoted to keeping her memory alive. He explained, “I have launched into this massive job of answering the mail that has come in for her over the last few weeks. Hundreds and hundreds of letters of pain and sorrow and hope. I’m answering every one of them.”

In 2019 — 10 years after Fawcett’s passing — O’Neal conveyed his undying love for his late partner. “There was never a day I didn’t love her,” he told People. Fawcett’s close friend Alana Stewart also spilled that O’Neal had actually popped the question weeks before her death. “I think they would’ve married if she had made it because he asked her to marry him in the hospital and she said yes. But she took a turn for the worse,” she shared.
