Susannah shared a story on facebook

A Summer Sunday in June of 1985 7:30 am... Prince and I were in a Car Accident. Starts out very dramatic but in actuality that accident transposed itself into a moment when I knew just how easily softened and sensitive Prince’s heart was when laid bare and unsheltered.

Prince was Justifiably up at 6am when he committed us to an early morning drive- by and retrospective storytelling of his neighborhood where he grew up. Much to peoples’ surprise Prince did honor the past. It would summon up on him in times of mercy and affection and ask him to look and remember where he came from. I saw this often.

The city was barley awake when we arrived downtown, Prince drove slowly and confidently pointing to all his teen mishaps and triumphs. When we were stopped at a red light, that’s when the car hit us. It hit the front passenger side door when I flew into Princes lap.

Messy and upset he took my face and said “are you OK?” stroked my cheek and told me to hang on. I watched him walk up to the other driver who was clearly upset, and then became confused and quiet as Prince comforted him. I was certain Prince gave him a number to call and all would be well. When he got back into the car, he said... “God has connected us forever Susannah”. Then maintained, he had to drive me to his neighborhood, so he could have this lucid experience. Prince looked at me with deliberate knowing and love, telling me how sorry he was this had happened and its all going to be ok…. “I’m always here, will you will be too? I said yes………

Happy Birthday my Dear One….
I am here.
with so much Love and kindness for you,

Susannah Melvoin

That's a heartwarming story. To read that he comforted the other driver speaks volumes about P.

That's how the story was to me too. The only thing that made much sense was that he was kind to the other driver. Everything else was like....huh?

It was a nice story. He was in an acccident with someone he loved. He showed true compassion and concern for the driver, who seems to have caused the accident, instead of getting angry and Susannah saw a side of him that she seemed to allude to not often seeing. And then he gets spritual on her with the whole we are connected now thing - as in we just had a traumatic experience and he probably had a mini revelation of sorts in that moment. Life is fleeting but love is forever.

As sweet as this story is, it's clear that Susannah's education was...abbreviated.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it here, since I don't check fb.

Reminds me of Anna Fantastic's story of scraping up the side of his Lovesexy car, expecting him to be angry when she told him, but he just asked if she was OK.

Also, he took Mayte on his neighborhood/childhood tour too - seems like his hometown and growing-up experiences (both good and bad) were very important to him.

I'm trying to figure out how you get t-boned if you are stopped at a red light....and not in the intersection.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

Exactly. It shows a kind side of Prince that he didn't get upset. I don't know about being connected forever, but...
