Something Came To Me Today

So there I am, flipping through channles this morning and I come across VH1 and the behind the music of Pantera is on. Personally, I'm not really a big fan of Pantera, I guess I just never got a chance to be exposed to them enough. (Out of the Pantera music I've heard I did like a mojority of it) I say this because I want people to know that I'm here not as a Pantera fan, or so much even a really big fan of Dimebag; but I am here as a fan of music, and I have the upmost respect for anyone who takes the position of being a musician.
When I heard about the death of Dimebag, I was shocked and confused as to why that would happen. But I only thought of it on a personal level as to how it would effect me. I didn't take the time to think of the millions of devoted Pantera/Dimebag fans out there, and more importantly Dimebag's faimly.
Today watching the behind the music of Pantera, watching Vinnie talk about his fallen brother it made me remember my brother who passed away. It brought a momentary rush of all the feelings I went through 7 years ago on my 15th birthday when I attended my own brother's funeral.
In essence, I'm here because I'm not sure exactly how to get my message to Vinnia Paul personally, so on the chance that he will stop by here and happen to read this message I have to take the chance.
Vinnie, I know exactly what you have gone through and what you are going through....I've been there myself. I wish I could say something to you that could make all the pain go away, but I can't. I can only tell you to remember the memories of your brother. You and Dime traveled the world together, bringing the most healing art form to your fans in the form of the music Pantera created. It may have never worked on so many poeple had it not been for the true emotion behind the band. Think of your brother every day, because his body may be gone but he's still around, trust me on this. When ever a young metal head guitarist to be is given a copy of Cowboys From Hell a piece of Dime will forever be instilled into his/her life. You've got an audio scrap book of your life iwht Dime, in the recordings you two did together, so whenever your missing him; just fire up some of the music you two created that has helped so many other people through trying times in their life and let it help you through this one.
You are in my thoughts Vinnie Paul, and even though I missed Pantera I will always have respect for Pantera and it's members.
