Ct's dad also wrote a really nice comment about Diem on his Facebook. Apparently she would play with CT's nephew for hours (I think he's 2 or 3 now). Diem would have been such a good mom. It just isn't fair. I still keep tearing up whenever I think about her really being gone. I'm trying to remain positive but for some reason her death has truly hurt my heart:(
It's crazy how many people she touched. Like not just people comign out of the woodworks, tons of people with personal great stories. So much goes on behind the scenes that we don't know about and she seems to have been a huge part in all of it.
Ok, I love CT and Diem and their story just like everyone else. However, I find it interesting that sasan ( her ex ) was a pall bearer and was in that photo with her family. If you look on his fb account you will see lots of pics with him and Diem and various family members of hers. Are we sure he wasn't the love of her life? Were DIem and CT basically giving us what we wanted and making great television? She blogged on People last year about having to show her BF what she looked like bald.. Etc. in some articles she has even said that relationship ended bc she wasn't able to scream out how she loved him bc she was gaurded. It appears she dated him for 6 years. Were she and CT just kind of people who dated when they were on the show.. Kinda like a camp romance?? I have watched every episode that they are in, but it seems weird that she did these shows while she was in a serious relationship w sasan. Just throwing it out there. I hope I am wrong..just find it odd that there are no public photos of CT w her family. Could sasan be the source that peoe listened to bc he was mad that CT did that and considers himself the love of he life?
I know. I often wonder if she can see just how much of an impact she had. Diem wasnt a "celebrity" in the traditional sense but, I believe she was more popular than the most of them. And her popularity did not come from some butt pics or some inflated ego, it came from her endless positivity in the face of a terrible disease. I have never cried over any other public figure but I cried for her multiple times. The story really is tragic. Such a beautiful strong woman with a lot of promise was taken far too soon. I still get sad looking at her instagram knowing she will never post again. Or searching for an an inpiratioanl tweet on her twitter that she will no longer write but I am happy as well. Diem was in so much pain and that stupid disease has taken so much away from her. I am at peace knowing that she no longer feels pain, and that not being able to have her own children will no longer sadden her.
I f you are not religious, please do not take offense to this but, I have been searching for scripture to help me understand all of this. And I read somehwere that some people die young because they are good and God was pleased with them. Therefore God takes them out of a corrupted world to be with Him. This was very comforting because I believe that Diem did a lot more good in her life than anything else. Her purpose was to help people and raise awareness and she did more in her young years than most will do in a long life.
I feel her family and friends will never, EVER let Diem's legacy or her memory be forgotten. I know they will always honor her and I just hope they are all doing ok. The world truly did lose a little light when Diem passed.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

The good die young: God sometimes decides that people are to die before their time because they are good, and pleased God. He takes them up into Heaven so that they would not be polluted by the evil which surrounds them in the world. The following quotation comes from the Wisdom of Solomon 4:10-15. It is one of the apocryphal books, which are not found in all Bibles:
"There were some who pleased God and were loved by Him, and while living among sinners were taken up. They were caught up so that evil might not change their understanding, or guile deceive their souls. For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good, and roving desire perverts the innocent mind. Being perfected in a short time, they fulfilled long years; for their souls were pleasing to the Lord, therefore He took them quickly from the midst of wickedness. Yet the peoples saw and did not understand, to take such a thing to heart, that God's grace and mercy are with His elect, and that He watches over His Holy ones."

One of my favorite screiptures. Isaiah 57 verse 1. One of my dearest friends lost her 8 year old to cancer in August. This is the verse that I used to comfort her.

I love that poem. I put it on my grandmothers program as well. That is especially fitting for Diem - I honestly can see her choosing that herself.
He has actually posted an article in about it in a Boston paper.... regardless of the are they or aren't they (though this says they were), it shows how much she meant to his parents as well. So many tributes befitting of her.

I know what you mean, me too! No one ever said life was fair I guess. I know a cure for cancer is probably a long way off but how about just better detection methods for cancer to detect it earlier, would save so many lives. I miss Diem. #fucancer
You can definitely see the toll everything with Diem took on him because he's lost a lot of weight but he's still so handsome and looks like he's trying to be strong and brave right now. God Bless Chris. Nice to see his family is with him right now.
There was also another picture in the video. It was at her 80's themed birthday party. They are posing together and CT is standing beside her in a pink wig with funky 60's glasses on. The wig looks like the one she wore when she was on Rivals 2.
Yeah Bananas went with CT/Diem to the 80s themed party. He even instagramed a picture with them both awhile ago. They were 100% together and if people don't believe that then so be it. They were in love and will meet again one day and that is all that matters.
Also did anyone else see the picture Ace instagramed with some cast members that attended Diem's funeral. They all looked to be in good spirits, celebrating Diem's life the way she would have wanted.
I didn't see that. What is Ace's Instagram screen name?

I was one that was hoping for a happy ending for Diem and CT. Alas, it was not to be. I hope he stays strong because afterward is sometimes the hardest times in a loss, as I'm sure many of you know. Fortunately. it seems that CT has a great support system in place and they will help him get through it. He has changed and matured in so many ways and I think Diem brought out the fun in him. At least, they were able to mend a lot of hurt feelings that existed between them and their families and move past it. How many get a second chance at that? Chris does have his own personal angel for the rest of his life and she will have his back. May Diem RIP and Chris stay strong...

Anyways back on topic that is remmebering Diem, I really enjoy reading Davis Post:
Untitled.png
That was a great post. Davis has to be one of the sweetest guys in the world.
It's crazy how many people she touched. Like not just people comign out of the woodworks, tons of people with personal great stories. So much goes on behind the scenes that we don't know about and she seems to have been a huge part in all of it.
I promise you're wrong
i just read a people article saying mtv will do a special called we love diem in her honor. not sure when though there was no date!
tell me why we come here? lesson in frustration, futility... and yet moth to a flame

@imjustsayin I don't know if this helps, but this is actually a picture of the backside of the prayer card distributed at Diem's funeral.

The full poem is:
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
What is his dad's facebook page?
Tank you @retiredliker I had not yet read that very moving poem. I also found this though,
It really helped me cope with her departing.
One of my favorite screiptures. Isaiah 57 verse 1. One of my dearest friends lost her 8 year old to cancer in August. This is the verse that I used to comfort her.

Happy to hear that and thank you to everyone that has changed the tone back to positive!!

I wonder if they will get other cast members to participate in the special
JEKfan- Vince tamburello. His page is public and he has out up some very nice tributes to Diem
He has actually posted an article in about it in a Boston paper.... regardless of the are they or aren't they (though this says they were), it shows how much she meant to his parents as well. So many tributes befitting of her.

Thanks Pink Rose. Other than the fact that they spelled Derrick's name wrong, this was nice. I hope they air it sooner rather than later!
