I'm not sure why I hadn't seen this video before - probably because I generally have my head in the sand. But it's a must-see if you have any compassion and love in your heart.
It's beautiful because of the love these two men shared.
It's tragic because that love was ripped apart forever.
It's shocking because others can be so cruel, selfish and thoughtless.
It's incomprehensible (to me) how people can remain so tied up in their own beliefs that they refuse to swallow their pride during such a tragic event.
It's appalling (again to me) that people refuse to make an effort to gain even a morsel of understanding or at least a morsel of an attempt to understand and accept.
It's wrong that spending years with the one you love can be reduced to nothing so fast and make you seemingly disappear from that person's life.
It's beautiful and strong and powerful how the one remaining chooses to pick himself up, to move on and try to make a difference.

Hi K-lee. Thanks for posting this. I have never seen the video, either. Glad I watched it even though it is heartbreaking to see what Shane has gone through. I just can't imagine how people can be so cruel. I hope the documentary is a huge success, that it helps him to heal and bring awareness to others. I know of several people that should probably see his video. Not sure if it would make a difference or not. Their story made me think of the movie A Single Man with Colin Firth.
ReplyDeleteI see where that song Beautiful Boy by Coleen McMahon is on iTunes. Don't think I will ever be able to listen to it without crying.
