Since we are sharing videos.... this is my fav... each time I watch it I play it 2 or 3 times in a row.  No words need to be said when you watch their faces.

And nothing helped me more then this video the day Diem passed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8tw7yg6WEQ

I had never seen the second one before! Thanks so much for sharing. Diem was the ultimate definition of happiness in that video.....laughing, smiling, dancing with her friends non-stop. I loved that Cara was with her. I think I definitely will be rewatching this more than once, made me feel better. Diem is just beyond gorgeous and full of life. 

I had never seen it either. (I still haven't actually; I just opened it in a new tab to watch later!) But if you look on the side where it suggests other videos there's like a part 2 to it (again, I didn't watch it yet so I'm not sure what it is exactly!); it says StageCoach 2012 and it's posted on Diem's YT account. I just thought I'd mention it, in case you didn't see it, because I'm not sure if the same "suggested videos" show up for everyone. 

Can I like the previous post infinite times!!! Seriously I LOVE to see her so in her element just being her. I truly feel she is the same person no matter the atmosphere and that is such a rare quality. I also enjoyed seeing both Ct and Bananas. Idk who Tarah is (famous or not) but her picture show all of them (ct diem and Johnny) just having a good time. It wasn't about a tv show or a certain personality. Just them being the friends they actually are, enjoying life. So Tarah, whoever you may be...Thank you for giving us another look at a beautiful soul. I'm not ashamed to say I'll be creeping on those pics a few more times to feel her presence. Smile

Tarah is Diem's dear friend & is in the band (Diems favorite) Lead of Foxes <-- she absolutley LOVED them and her!

I got a lovely email from Diem's friend today and if you are in NY, DC, LA or Miami you can join team DIEMSTRONG  De a part of Cycle for Survival Team DIEMSTRONG - JOIN or donate to team .

ANYONE considering this and hesitating because you aren't sure if you would be welcome, or if it was intended for Diems close friends and family - I was told to pass it along and encourage all who are serious about championing the causes that were dear to her and honoring her memory... so if you want to join PLEASE DO you are welcome! xo

My favorite things about Tarah Healey's photos of Diem's birthday are as follows:

1)  Chris holding the cupcake with her candle to blow out. Johnny being right there holding the box of cupcakes. 

2) Diem looking like she is directing everyone in singing to her before she blew out the candle.

3) The photos of Diem wearing Chris's white glasses as a headband.

4) The photos of Chris trying to hand Diem a drink because it's so like on challenges where he stands in the background letting her shine and then taking care of her by getting her drinks.

5) The photos of Chris and Johnny being friends in real life.

6) The photo where you can see Chris is distracted & holding his bottle out to someone then the next photo you see Diem with it in the next photo.

7) all of the photos you see of Chris taking photos of the party and knowing they will never be shared with us because they are  private. 

Dirol The photo of Diem looking up pointing her fingers up because it looks like she is having a moment with her mom in heaven (with is totally my interpretation and she was probably just rocking out, but I still love it).

9) All of the private moments with Chris and Diem in the backgrounds of these pictures where you see the love between them.

While I loved catching this glimpse of real life, I felt like a total creeper seeing something they probably would have preferred to be kept private. Not that it stopped me from looking, but I did feel guilty about it. Anyone else?

Yea, pretty cool photos........Diem looks extremely fit.......hard to fathom she only had a few months of remaining good health.   

 

 

 

Where can these pictures be seen? can someone post?

Is it protected?  I cant get to it and dont have facebook

They are public.  There's a ton of them and Diem looks so vibrant and happy!  There are a few photos where you could see her hugging up on Chris in the background, one looking like it was just before a kiss.  I am loving these photos!  My favorite thing about them is that CT and Diem match.. He's wearing zebra print pants and she has the zebra print pattern around her waist.. Soo frekaing adorable.

Anyone else know of any photos we havent seen?  It's so nice to remember her as soo happy and glowing.

I googled her facebook and couldn't see her pictures until I logged into my own facebook. Do you know someone with facebook that you could have them pull it up?

Ugh Real from Vh1's I Love Money & Real Chance of Love passed from colon cancer today. It makes you realize that these reality tv celebrities are all human like the rest of us. It's so sad, him & Diem were both so kind and so young.

There is an author named KA Coleman this is her first book - For the next two weeks, all sales from Holding On and Letting Go will go to benefit .

Here are a couple of the reviews - if you enjoy keep an eye out for her next which will feature MedGift in the storyline!5.0 out of 5 stars I can't let go of this book! August 16, 2014
Format:Paperback
I was hooked as soon as I started so what began as reading a few pages turned into reading the book in one sitting. By page 10, I was teary eyed which progressed into shrieks of joy, anger which almost landed the book across the room, and full on tears of both joy and sadness. It is most definitely a roller coaster of emotion. My family got worried about me when I disappeared for a few hours and they heard strange noises...
This book addresses serious and difficult issues which everyone who has lost someone can relate to at some level. That and the extremely talented voice behind this book make it absolutely incredible. The way these serious themes are addressed in the book are encouraging because it shows a different side than most media today. Emerson, the main character, explains it all in the first few pages, "I learned the hard way that life doesn't exactly take special requests" (Coleman 15). This unpredictable book has the reader hoping and guessing only to be misguided and surprised with those "special requests" being unfulfilled.
I started this book because I knew the author but I finished it and loved it because of the story line. I not only love this book but I cannot wait to see what comes next! I would recommend this to everyone because it is truly a life lesson kind of book rather than just another work of fiction.
 
5.0 out of 5 stars Heartache and Hope July 26, 2014
Format:Kindle Edition

5 STARS!! Holding on and Letting Go by K.A. Coleman had me crying from the beginning. I knew this was a tearjerker. I stepped outside my wussy norm and risked my heart anyway. Emerson Caulfield lost the love of her life. If you're thinking some wild boy who died way too young, you're right. She lost her baby brother who had the most amazing spirit. He was the light of her life. Darkness swallowed her and kept her captive for two years until she returned home. Thing with letting light back in your life, any flicker hurts. Enter Matt, all american hottie, next door neighbor, and Emerson's long ago best friend. He's determined to be there for her. She's determined to continue putting on an act and mourning in private. Emerson's journey out of the dark is a painful, gritty one filled with angst and tears, but I couldn't get enough. I love Matt and Emerson's story. We all have one. We all lose our way at some point.

Paula/Jemmye retweeted Camila's tweets.

He deleted all the pictures with Diem's name in it off of instagram but he had tons of random pictures on instagram with hashtag Diem. That seems a little odd.

Diem's Gauntlet 3 shirt and Battle of the Exes 2 promo outfit were both relisted on EBay because the first winners didn't pay. http://m.ebay.com/itm/281610016686?nav=VI

Now when CT does something it'll be fine and dandy... Like **** off. Davis wrote a song for Diem. Singer-songwriters write songs about individuals ALL THE TIME. Not a big deal. No immortality happening here. Moving on.

Oh reallllly???

Except for the fact that CT got read to flith and trashed on every social media platform for posting, what, 3 things about Diem in a 4 month period even though he was her boyfriend . 

Don't know if Davis is being an attention ***** or not but if he is he needs to take a seat. Write the song, perform it but don't try to use it as a platform to "make it". 

No big deal with Davis.........with respect to CT lets be somewhat logical, he was using his Twitter for MedGift and then a pretty heartfelt message and if I recall he had a bit of a relationship with Diem.....also he has been out of social media since November.

I just unpublished all the recent posts.  Not a debate I liked seeing in this thread.

Hope everyone is doing well.

.” Beautiful romance that ended too soon

 

 

Diem, no matter what happened between them, was CT's counterpart, his better half. It's an honor being friends with them both

 

I thought these comments from Tyrie were nice. I thought I'd share them!

Thank you for sharing.  I am so beyond in love with the two of them.  Although they never got their white picket ence, I am so glad they were able to re-connect.  

I tried to upload all the Tyrie things but it was to large of files or not the right format anyways it started by someone saying "One of my coworkers is obsessed with CT and Diem Story. Tyrie then replied with: "Beautiful romance that ended too soon. I remember on BOTE me and Chris would just vibe after the cameras would stop filming. Especially after my partner got on my last damn nerves LMAO love u Jaz. But after ct and diem got into this huge argument...think it was over some flirting shit....I said to him that night... 'Diem is an ANGEL...Just not your angel' I've never been so wrong in my life. I fully believe that everyman has his counterpart Diem, no matter what happened between them, was CT's counterpart, his better half. It's an honor being friends with them both." 

His twitter name is Darc Kent and his handle is @TyrieBMTV he tweeted that on Feb 28 as well.

Not a fan of Tyrie but that was a really sweet post.

i just re-watched the Duel 1 today... and I cannot stop thinking about Diem and Chris.

 

RIP Diem

 

Does anyone know how CT is doing? He has been completely gone from social media...

Anyone knows how CT is doing? no signs of him on social media

I love seeing castmates comment on the strength, duration, and positives of Chris and Diem's relationship. Cara Maria always has positive and supportive comments. Love her too. 

Warmed my heart during last night's Battle of the Exiled to see that Bananas had MedGift grease-penciled on his forearm.  As close as Diem and Johnny were, I'm sure the not knowing really wore on him.

I love the relationships that CT/Wes/Bananas had with Diem. They could all fight but they always had one thing is common and that was their love for Diem.

I like this post. Smile

New to vevmo, however I have came here for a few years now to read up on challenges past and present. I have a great deal of respect for Diem Brown and her legacy. She was near perfect but was human and had her mistakes from time to time like everyone else. I have rooted for her every challenge, I hope her family heals from their loss. I am one of the many who hoped she and CT where back together , and as so much has been shared on social media I really think they where indeed together, how many ex's hang with the ex's parents and siblings just saying. Well while I am busy catching up on some reading via this site. I will also be wishing for spring!
