Thank you Jayman for your insight. You and I both believe in reincarnation so we see things in a somewhat different light. It's obvious that dear Andrew was a younger soul. (And that's not an insult at all) Just as Tyler for instance is an older soul. We could all see alot of Andrew's rough edges even in interviews on the futon. I, like many others I'm sure, hoped that his short sighted decision making processes and his fondness for drugs would be a passing phase of youth. Many other people go through similar stages in their early 20's but they are given the time to work it out of their systems to lead very productive adult lives. It's a shame that Andrew didn't get that chance.
I am very grateful to Giovanni for posting those videos. They allowed us to see Andrew instead of just Dustin. It's quite obvious that Giovanni loved him. And it appears that the feeling was mutual. Giovanni was able to see the diamond. And because of that Andrew seemed to shine his brightest. It allowed us to see a glimpse of his true inner beauty. This whole experience has allowed me to see Giovanni in an even better light. I can only imagine how much pain the poor guy is in right now. If he was that special to Andrew then he must be quite an amazing person. Though it's likely that Giovanni will say that Andrew was the one who was an amazing person.
I agree that Giovanni helped us to see the real Andrew and not just the Dustin porn star we all came to know. My heart is filled with both peace and joy to know that Andrew had such wonderful friends as Giovanni to allow us to see Andrew through his eyes as that perfect flawless diamond. It is wonderful to see that Andrew made such a wonderful impact on the lives of his friends and companions. Now that impact has been allowed to touch all of our hearts as well. Thank you Giovanni for sharing your insight.
Andrew go now in peace, bless your heart... Nameste.
