"One day you are going to lose everything you have, nothing will prepare you for that day, not faith…not religion…nothing. When someone you love dies, you will know emptiness, you will know what it is like to be completely and utterly alone. You will never forget and never forgive…think about what you have to loose"
from The Crow comic Book written by James O'Barr

How do you think Brandon would have been as a husband and father?
I think personally from what I have seen and read, that Brandon would have made a very dedicated and loving husband to his wife. I think he really would have been a man that his children could have really looked up to. Eliza would have been
very lucky to have him as a husband and visa-versa, and any children that they would have had, would have been lucky to have been lucky to have him as their father.

I don’t really know because I didn’t know him personally so It's hard to know for sure, but by the way he portrayed himself in his movies however, I would have to make the assumption that he would have been a loyal and dedicated husband and father. It's really one of those questions where it is hard to know for sure unless you had the chance to meet the person and stayed with them long enough to to get to know them better.
-Wednesday Elektra > moon_dust17@chickmail.com
Brandon would have been a wonderful and very dedicated father and husband, since he was going to be a husband in a matter of days when he died; and every interview I have with him on the set of the crow, he was so excited to be getting married to Eliza. I don't see Brandon as a very strict or tough dad at all, I think that stuff would have been up to Eliza.
I imagine Brandon as a fun dad, sort of best friend/dad, I think he would have encouraged his kids to be free thinkers and creative, and I think he would have been very open minded as well, so if his kids ever needed him, he would have been there no matter what kind of trouble they were in. As a husband, I think he would have been very loving, he always sounded very romantic as a boyfriend and partner to Eliza when he was alive, so I think his love for his wife would have only got deeper as time went on.
It seems such a shame that he wasn't given the chance to be a father, if only the if only's were realities.

Poetry
Devils Night Revenge
Blinded by the distant light
He is born from the grave,
Of this very night
Be still, be calm, be brave!
He sets out to make the wrong things right
On this coming devils night
Thunder sounds and lightning crashes,
All those who are evil will burn to ashes
The crow flies on ahead,
Seeking out those who ought to be dead
One by one they all fall down,
As he leaves his mark across the town
The stairway to heaven is high
Leading way up to the sky.
One by one they all fall down.
To their places below the ground
Be still, be calm, be brave.
For look at all those souls he saved
On that dreary night of rain,
Eric Draven will never be the same again

"People once believed, that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens, that a terrible sadness is carried with it, and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back, to put the wrong things right."

Dedications to Brandon
In memory of Brandon Lee
1965-1993
" The Key to Immortality is first living a life worth remembering"
Brandon's movie, The Crow has had a tremendous impact on my life, I've never seen a more deep and meaningful movie than the crow and I doubt I ever will. In my opinion, Brandon was the only person capable enough to fit the part. Every night my crow posters watch over me and I feel as though they protect me from forces I cannot see or don't want to see.

Brandon may be gone, but he lives on in our hearts and minds forever.
