I have no words ... Except, I am so very sorry ...
John, the photo is raw...and powerful...and poignant...and it's Dave. And it's Dave and you. It's the circle of life, and far too many people prefer to minimize these things and forget it as quickly as possible. There is a lot of humanity in that photo--in the entire series, actually--and if anyone is upset about it, then it should be learning experience for them. The path that was Dave's life was a difficult one, and he followed that path with great dignity, grace, strength, and love. You walked a lot of that path with him, and shared that great dignity, grace, strength, and love with him. I mourn Dave, but I am so glad that the two of you shared so much of that path together.
Love you, Bubba
Love you, Bubba
This is the face of devotion.
I cannot even begin to imagine what you are experiencing, but this gives a glimpse.
You are still in my thoughts.

It's really powerful, and a great shot. There is a work--a photo that many people read as a painting--by AA Bronson that touches on something similar, but I think I am even more moved by this.
Even in death, there is art. There's something hopeful about that.
That is such a heartbreaking image, John. Please accept my sincerest sympathies.
i'm sorry.
It show the lose that is universal, no matter what the relationship is.

John, I'm sorry for your loss. May Dave rest in peace.
I've lived in fear of an image similar to this with Bob for so many years now. We've come so close to it so many times. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Instantly back in the room kissing John's head good-bye. I mean... right there. So so sorry for your loss.

I hug you, hold you, and affirm you for posting this picture. You and I have discussed my feelings on how we deal with death, especially as I have taken the Care in Christian Communities class this semester at seminary.

envirobear's words. I just wish I closer right now to be of more help.

It hurts to see this and imagine the sheer loss, but it likewise hurts to think of never getting to the point where such a loss could hurt so much...

That is absolute tragedy and terrible loss, yet love shines through it completely.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I am sittin' here fightin' tears, John. That picture...so simple, so poignant, so blindingly raw. I can't express that level of love in words, and I can only pray to some day know it myself. It only makes me feel . I know we know one another only a little, but I would like to help somehow if I can. Let me know, please.

I am sitting here crying. I have been there twice and I see the the reality that love knows no bounds; and I understand. I wish I could hug you and be there with you.
That photo tells me how much you loved him. I hope that somehow this is a part of a greater "wake up call".
Sorry... I am rambling, I just know I remember how it was. David is at peace and you will put your life back together.

This breaks my heart.
It is great love.
It is great loss.
It shares everything with all of us.
It makes this moment eternal.

I know what 16 years feels like and I know how devastated I would be if I lost Tommy. My heart goes out to you on your loss of a friend, a partner, a lover ...
