Be Somebody - Prayers for Bobby

That's right, YouTube! I'm not dead! I've just been really busy lately, therefore unable to find the time for video-making. But this is a little project I've been working on recently. If you've never heard of it, the movie is called Prayers for Bobby, and it's the saddest movie I've ever seen. I cried through the entire thing. As soon as I heard this song, I immediately thought of Bobby and his mother. I think it turned out very well, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. =^.^=

The first time I actually saw Bobby he was working as a server in a deli/restaurant

and he served, or at least brought the order to our table. I had been living in

SoCal where I had grown up in my moms' home, and had come out to her the previous year. Because she was going through a tough divorce with her

second husband, my coming out was all too untimely and she couldn't

quite cope.

@blainebill39 That's a very touching story. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I took a road trip with my father to visit my grandmother in Sacramento today.

On the way, I told him that I had been thinking a great deal about Bobby lately.

I reminded him of the instances that he allowed me to have Bobby sleep over,

and he not flinching over the two of us sharing a bed together in my room! How

remarkably progressive of my college football playing, mans' man father!

This was 1981-1982 folks! I thanked him for being the completely accepting

and loving dad that he was!

@blainebill39 You knew him?

I got a question what movie is this I have got to see this

[kikiandtarb4ever]

It's called Prayers for Bobby, I saw it on Lifetime. It was a wonderful movie, but I warn you now it made me cry 3 times.

I have seen it a couple times and I can't help but cry. It makes me hate all people who don't thinkg being gay is okay.

This is my favorite movie ever.

Buona Sera!

Ciao!

Grazie for sharing that, I'm quite touched! Lately, I've been having quite a time wrapping my head around the idea that by 2013, it will have been 30 years since Bobby's passing! But sadly and needlessly I might add, it's still occurring and must stop! Thank you again my friend "Tu sei un Angelo"! (You're an Angel)

Chorus:

Though I’ve gone away;

It kills everyday that I killed what meant most to you.

So when pass my grave leave a rose for what might been.

And know that it’s ok to shed your fears and find love again. Boyce Avenue

This is a song from a band called Boyce about this same subject of suicide; It is a beautiful song just like the movie I tear up every time I hear it.

Respond to this video...

There is a song by boyce avenue called Briane it a song about someone taking their life talking her loved ones, It makes me think of this song.

@kikiandtarb4ever

Very descent and kind of you to share words of comfort and it is

appreciated! Bobbys' suicide did occure almost 30yrs ago, and you

might be pleased to hear that I was able to go on to life full of many

enriching experiences. I'm sure it would be true to some degree that

I never properly grieved for him!

Thank you, and may G-D bless you

Sincerely,

Blaine
