By the way, some of the photos by Justine Walpole that I posted were new to me, and others I had already seen. This one from the Billboard cover is one that I had already seen.

It's a bittersweet day 2 day. We lost him 1 year ago, but he will live 4ever in his music. I choose 2 celebrate him and his legacy today.

.

Every day that has gone by in the past year, he has been in my thoughts. Almost every day in the past year, I have played his music.

.

I woke up 2 "Let's Go Crazy," like I have 4 the past few months. I love starting my day hearing "Dearly beloved, we r gathered here today 2 get through this thing called life." (My cat knows those words mean breakfast is coming soon.)

.

I wore a purple shirt. (I wear purple frequently...it's my favourite color, and that has nothing 2 do with Prince.)

.

I wore my necklace, including 2 work. (I never wear necklaces because I teach young children who have autism.)

.

I enjoyed the tributes to Prince on the Tom Joyner Morning Show while driving 2 work.

.

I listened 2 "Diamonds and Pearls." I listened 2 "The Beautiful Ones." Those are my 2 favourite Prince songs.

.

I wore my purple apron at work, just as I do every day.

.

I played "Starfish and Coffee" as the transition song in my classroom all week. (I've played it during numerous weeks this school year.)

.

I'm watching "Purple Rain" at the moment.

.

Today was a pretty normal day, for the most part...a little more somber. Nonetheless, I choose 2 celebrate his life and the legacy of his great music.

.

Rest in peace, Prince. Thank u 4 your music. Rest in peace with your son.

.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

.

At the moment, I am watching Purple Rain with Shy. I tried 2 get her 2 wear my love symbol necklace 4 a photo, but she wasn't feelin' that. Oh well. (Pardon the mess. It's Friday and I'm a little worn out from the week.)

Aww lovely cat xxx

Thank u Guitar Hero. Shy is my pride and joy. U should have seen her last night, there were a couple of times she had her eyes glued to the TV while we were watching Purple Rain.

These are totally new 2 me. Where were these taken? 4 some reason, the church/cathedral from the Come photo shoot reminds me of the Marienplatz in Munich (which I have seen in person).

this is sagrada familia in barcelona/spain.

Thank u, Lemon Crush! La Sagrada Familia, yeah that makes sense. It was a beautiful background for the photos.

Rogifan, thank u 4 the photo. If was there, u damn right would have given him a kiss! would have given him 5, in fact, 4 the 5 kisses in "Kiss"... just want your extra time and your kiss.

At City Works (across from First Ave) they have this cardboard cutout of Prince. People were going up to it and kissing him.

U are absolutely right, LC, there is a lot of irony in choosing LSF as a background.

A former org thread says:

"(...) The outtakes from the photoshoot for the cover of the album were released a year before in The Sacrifice of Victor, Prince's first book. (...)"

Was going to PP for the April party but my wife became ill before we was going to fly from London Heathrow on the 19th to meet up with some of the DF gang. We are still in London and she is getting tests in hospital but she seems fine. Just worried. Have had better weeks. Love you all I might be on the org a little more this week because waiting is hospitals is boring and i need to take my mind of things
