The Same as P did, I dont do Birthdays Then you don't age.....

I stopped counting birthdays after I turned 18 some odd years ago lol but this birthday (which is the same month as His) I just felt empty & lost... Even after all of this time I refuse to accept it.

OMG I woke up on my birthday, and the FIRST thing that came to mind was this is the FIRST birthday without him on this earth. The rest of the day just felt like another day. My family took me out and I received nice things, but really, I just was going through the motions.

Indeed. I used to check for news regularly especially here at the Org as to Prince's whereabouts as I go through my daily life just knowing he's somewhere but now that he's gone I felt like I lost a dear friend. I plan on having some drinks with friends on my birthday in Prince's memory.

Try to have a happy one. P's no longer in pain and he left so much for us all.

My birthday was april 17th..... so i guess i have one year or less to figure this out.

That's brutal Here, have a hug . The ebb and flow of grief is a mutha, but atleast we got eachotha...(yeah, I just came up with that...lol).

My birthday is 30th of April and i did not celebrate it this year. It was too soon after There was absolutely nothing to be cheerful about on my birthday. I will be glad to see the back of 2016. My next birthday i will just play his music and have some friends round and celebrate Prince.

Same as I always have. Life goes on.

My birthday is April 5th, the party got put off until the 22nd which was the night he died here in Australia. I went to bed at around 8pm at my own party, I was too sad to talk to anyone. It was horrible.

My family was never into celebrating birthdays, so needless to say that I grew up that way also. I don't celebrate my birthday, and even though my family likes to do the cake, gift thing, I always ask them not to make a big deal out of my birthday because it really makes me uncomfortable. I just like the day to go quietly by. Therefore, it makes no difference that Prince is gone, because I never did anything special while he was here, not for his birthday or mine.

My birthday is over for 15 minutes now and that Prince isn't alive anymore made me realize how quickly it can all be over and how I am getting old even more and how much my life has changed since I got into his music back in 1984.

My birthday is on Christmas, so for Prince, that would be two things to avoid celebrating in one day. Mine will be the same as always since I will be with family and we'll all be doing what we do every year on that day.

I hope that when your birthday comes, it ends up being a happy one despite the sad thoughts.

Hang out with friends and eat delicious food, same as before! Prince's passing did not impact my birthday this year and I doubt it will in the future, to be honest.

My birthday is coming up and while I used 2 look 4ward 2 it (even though Prince doesn't celebrate his own birthday), it makes me sad knowing my childhood musical idol is gone and playing his songs on my birthday, which I normally do, is tinged with sadness. The last time I saw him in concert was around my birthday 4 years ago and it was the best birthday present I got and had been looking forward 2 doing it again if he was performing in my area like he did, coincidentally then, but now it will never happen again.

I understand what u r talking about. For over 30 years I have associated Prince with my birthday (which is June 11). I would always associate June with Prince (now kind of sad because of the song as well as his passing), and I would make sure Prince was playing from June 1 on. I would of course celebrate with his music even more on June 7. On my birthday, I would play Prince exclusively. I even remember a few birthdays back in the day where I would go on the hunt to local record stores and pay way too much for a Prince boot. This year, I still listened and celebrated Prince in June and even more so on his birthday and mine. It will still be a tradition for me (though it was painful at times this past June). I still have my sad and tearful moments, but I feel truely blessed by "knowing him" through his music and by the countless gifts he has left behind for us!

bobgeorge: Do u know I would make sure to take that week off as a vacation almost every year, even during years I didn't even pay attention to P? OMG, that man was an underground river in my life and I didn't know the extent until he passed! smh....even took it off this year, especially since....

Mine is in 2 months. I always start my day listening to some of my favorite songs by my favorite artists (mostly P), so I'm not sure how cheerful I'll be this year. I can't even imagine really celebrating this year

Nursey has always listened to Prince on my birthday since I was 9 years old. Aint nothing changed I'll be 45 in January if Gods willing and I'll listen to P then too

My birthdays never really involved Prince, but this year I briefly considered the fact that Prince's birthday would've happened the day after mine. It was a bit sobering.

My thing is this...I was blessed to live when Prince lived and for that Im grateful. I will always listen to his music for the rest of my life. He is gone, but his gift still remains and thats a beautiful thing

I feel a song comin' on yaw'll. Won't you join me? https://www.youtube.com/w...rkEDe6Ljqs
