Rest In Peace
I remembered the first time I met Drake formally at my father’s fundraising dinner for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders and how Dave Miller had introduced Drake that way – neurosurgeon, bass player, philanthropist. Drake was so very much like his father but at the same time, so very different in the ways that mattered the most. He wanted stability, family, and children. But he was his father’s son, going into surgery, playing the bass guitar, and working tirelessly to help patients with neurological disorders, keeping up the charity work of the foundation in Liam’s honor, and the robotic implements business Liam had started, in order to provide the specialized surgical tools to hospitals around the world.
Drake was the most wonderful man I had ever met, besides my father. I felt so lucky at that moment to have found him. To have tripped into him that night at the bar, to have fallen in the alley outside my father’s apartment so that Drake could administer aide to me, and to have been matched with him when I went in search of a Dominant to interview to quench my personal interest in BDSM.
That he loved me with his entire body, heart and soul, I had no doubt. That love grounded me, gave me a foundation, and now I was making a life for myself and for us and Sophia.
Drake stood silent, his back to me, Sophia in his arms. “That’s where your grandpa is buried, Sophie,” he said to her, his voice soft. “One day, when you’re old enough, I’ll tell you all about him.”
Michael bent down and placed a small framed photograph at the base of the tree. It was of him and Liam in better days, when the two were on some mission with MSF, the two men with their arms over each other’s shoulders. It reminded me of the picture of my own father with Liam, in a similar stance in Vietnam. How my father would have loved to be here as well, but he wasn’t able to manage the flight and trip on the savannah so he’d have to settle for pictures.
I took out my video camera and began recording, narrating the scene for my father and Elaine to watch once I uploaded it to the web.
I saw Drake wipe his eyes, and I put down my camera, going to him to comfort him, my hand on his shoulder. He hugged Sophia closer and kissed her head, his eyes closed tightly. Michael reached out and put his hand on Drake’s other shoulder and the three of us were silent, staring at the huge baobab tree which stood majestic against the expansive Ethiopian sky.
