i'm home with Wyatt, we're recovering from a nasty stomach virus and as I was posting I realized today marks a month since Dean left us.

The tears still flow. The silence is deafening. Being a single parent sucks. Dean gave us so much, never realized it all until his departure. The vacancy in our lives is huge and can never be filled. I am trying so hard to be mommy and daddy, and quite honestly, I am so tired, just worn out. Wyatt's passion for trains and enjoyment of music, especially Bruce, is a constsnt reminder of the everlasting contribution Dean made to Wyatt's little life. As the days go by I try my best and give my all, still cannot believe or accept that Dean is gone.
Andrew's words, his description of Dean and "getting" him could have been written by me, he is so right on. I am grateful that Andrew truly knew Dean and was a good friend to him. I got Dean, he let me in, and I loved him through it all. We shared so many laughs, fears, dreams, and the most amazing experience of the birth of our twins. Dean was misunderstood by most, his defense mechanism rarely let him be true to himself and his pain was great. I know the goodness he was, the neverending supply of love for his son, and his desire to be loved. We had a short 6 years together. I joined MR to tell him off. Two days later we met and had a 7 hour date, lol. never looked back.

Love can be found in the strangest of places. There's a line in a Rick Springfield song - We'll find love when love's invisible - always kind of reminds me of how love can flourish in the most difficult of circumstances or even when outwardly things look too difficult for love. I think you should feel comforted that Dean was appreciated and understood much more than people may have let on, as evidenced by this thread. I remember one evening at the Melissa Etheridge show at the Greek talking with him and sort of watching him and thinking wow, this guy is one tortured soul, but deep down a good soul. In a very short time and with just a few conversations with each of you, I seemed to suddenly care very much for the both of you, even if from a distance. The struggles brought me sadness.

I can't imagine there is any easy road from point A to point B for you now. Time, people that care about you, your beautiful boy, and future adventures are all that is on your side at the moment. It will take a while, I'm sure, for that to be enough. This is truly nothing but tragic. I wish you all the love and strength you need to get through this.

Lady Lula I'm praying for you and Wyatt.
I know that life will again be wonderful for you both.
I tried to read that book to my youngest Son a couple weeks
ago because he really loves it and I had to stop because I couldn't
control my eye leaks.
You are on my mind daily and in my heart always.

Not to mention that little face. Looks alot like Dean in that cute little profile pic. Just floors me everytime I see a new pic, he has grown soooo much. Sending you both a 'virtual' warm embrace. So sorry for your struggles right now, but I know one thing for sure, you are an outstanding Mother and that little boy is very much loved. Hehe soooo many aunties and uncles spread around the world, and even a nana or two. :wink:

by **Lula** » Wed Mar 28, 2012 8:50 am

thank you all for your very kind words. Susie your insight and wisdom are so appreciated, thank you.

i should update my profile pic, but don't have the whole photobucket thing down :oops:

You two had the courage to go for it despite the problems -- and got six years of all the passion, joy, shit, and drama that is real life lived fully. And you got your boys. Too many people hang back and miss out and then regret it. Good for you, Lula.

Lula he loved you more than you will ever know. You and Wyatt were his world. I did not know him very well truth be told, except for our correspondence here and on facebook chat. I do know what resoundingly came across even when he was so distraught. He loved you both so much. I hope you don't mind me sharing that with you. I hope you both are doing O.K. despite all the heartache. I think he had a way of moving people that he even knew for a short time that made them feel at home with him. He hat such a big heart and had a way of making you smile, even when he made you so exasperated! Hugs Lula.

I haven't been here in a while and to read this just breaks my heart. My heartfelt condolences to his family. He was always pretty cool with me and we agreed on many things. I do feel privileged that he was rude to me at least once. LOL RIP Rockindeano. You are missed.

by **BobbyinTN** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 9:56 am

This is one of the PMs I got from him and wanted to share it. He was pretty amazing.

Good on You Bobby
I know you probably don't think too highly of me, but I do want to say that i stand with you on the homosexual stuff here. i think you are a brave guy ti face this and be as proud as you are. I think it is a shame someone has to "come out" in this country. It shouldn't be that big a deal.

Anyway, I am in a rush and am typing this too fast, but I am trying to tell you I support you and fellow gay men. I will always defend you against the bigoted people on here...

Good on you Bobby.

PS- did you serve in in the US military?

This was my reply.

Re: Good on You Bobby
I actually admire you a lot too. I've seen you rip people apart, but I know you're fighting on the side of what's right and you're pretty fuckin' cool.

Thank you for those great words, I do appreciate them.

No, I've not been in the military but I have many friends who are in and a family member joining this coming March, she's just turning 21, came out in her teens and is remarkable and so that's why this repeal means a great deal to me. My friends are awesome people and to seeing them have to hide who they are has been awful.

Thank you again Deano for being a voice of reason on this otherwise right wing nut job forum.
I think you and I agree about 99% of the time.

Have a great rest of the week and happy holidays!![quote][/quote]

By the way, he did mention names of those who are bigoted, I decided to delete those, but I love him even more for letting me know who was trust worthy.

Sigh - saw this -> http://www.cracked.com/video_18405_sex-as-understood-by-adolescent-boys.html and my first thought was "Got to post this on MR: wonder what comments Dean will come up with..." and then remembered. And you know, as sad as I was to remember he's gone, I'm still glad funny stuff makes me think of him.

I hope I was not one of those he considered bigoted. Both he and I butted heads a lot but he still respected me and told me so behind the scenes. Wish I'd have had the chance to meet him in person.
