and I'm hurting so bad. I have so much regret for not having gone to his last concert in Oakland back in March and I''m just sitting here listening to his third encore and the tears are coming down.

Thank you all. I was driving when I got the text and I thought I was gonna have a panic attack. No one really understands how much he meant to me and it is so incredibly comforting to know that this community can relate and feels the same emotions and pain that I do. Love you guys.

I passed up the Oakland show as well!! It's now my biggest regret! I remember thinking it was too costly, and I'll catch him the on the next go 'round. God, had I known it would be my last chance no amount of money would have mattered. I've been beating myself up over it this entire time. My Uncle went and told me all about it and now all I can do is cry when I think about it.

Listened to it yesterday. Unreal. "Girl" and a Bob Marley cover? what?

At least we can say he went out on top.

Probably one of the hardest things to listen to, isn't it?? Just knowing "this was the last time" "Never again will he ever sing this" "I will never see him live or hear him sing ever again". I SOBBED while listening. Like uncontrollably sobbed. Yet, it was so beautiful to hear his voice. There is nobody who sends chills through me like he did. His voice. So unique, so beautiful, so smooth. That last concert is truly heartwrencing to listen to though. Goodness

It was so hard.. I couldn't get through it all. I had to pause with 4 minutes to go. I was a damn mess... Seeing him live was one of the most amazing moments of my life, hearing the whole crowd sing along to Purple Rain was... beyond words. I'm grateful I was able to experience that at least once in my life but it hurts knowing that it's all a memory now. One that I will cherish forever.
