Hello all...
I realize absolutely none of you know me... and to be honest I stumbled upon this forum by accident. However - this whole situation has touched my heart, but has wrought up old wounds in my past.
My name is Dave - I am 22 and live in Ohio, I have never met Harrier, but from what I have gathered, he was a man to be revered. Chris - I can relate to you indiscriminately... my father died - due to cancer. I have no wishes to deter from Harrier but I want to share my thoughts with Chris... my father died when I was pretty young and it hurt excruciatingly bad, Chris - I do not know how you have handled it so well, but you are being strong for your family. Anyways, I write this as tears fill my eyes being so touched by the story of Harrier and how one moment a man can be part of our lives and the next a memoir in our past, present, and future.
Chris - should you ever need to talk to someone, even thought we have never met - I would like to be the first to say I would be glad to help you through the next few stages of your life. My father, Michael Walter Drury, changed the world I believe, effecting everyone around him. He was a magical man - as I see Harrier has touched you all in the same way.
I know I sound a bit ... inconsistent, but 'tis only because of the absolute sadness I feel in connection to Harrier's family. After I read that poem it opened the only wound that could make me cry - and I hope one day I can become as wonderful and well-loved a person as Harrier or my father before me.
I just thought I would share my thoughts on the situation - sorry if I am ill-allowed to do so, but Chris - should you ever need to talk to someone who has gone through a similar stage in this life let me know.
David Michael Drury
