Prince by those who knew him best (you'll cry at the very end)

.

This is great. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune put it together when Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. They republished it after his death. The very last memory is crushing.

Beautiful. I was watching the awards show again today where he gave Halle Berry an award.

I do hope he knew how much he was loved by us all. That he knew that he was a reason a lot of us got through hard times, that we couldn't sleep the night before seeing him in concert because we were so excited.

I am carrying on as normal, but everytime I am happy about something I then remember he is gone or read ''Prince WAS...'' and the circumstances surrounding it, my heart breaks for him all over again.

Still dreaming of him. Still in disbelief. Still in tears when I should be working. Oh, Prince, how we loved you. sad

So sweet. I do hope he and Wendy had moments like that more recently too. I know his relationship with Wendy & Lisa was sort of hot and cold, judging by some of their comments in their out interview and elsewhere.

Me too. She does have a beautiful heart. Great article. I had read most of the Star Tribune articles but not this one. Thank you, Laytonian. It does make me feel a little sad. I miss his presence.
He's not here, but still very near

From the first moment I saw U
I knew U were The One

Thank you so much! I must have skimmed this before as some of it is familiar but there was so much to read in the weeks right after, must have meant to come back to this one and never did as most of it is new to me. So happy you put it back in my view. And, yep, you were right about the end. sad

We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams. . .

Like mumio, I had read it earlier but with so much to read, I was skimming.

I've got everything bookmarked and can revisit them now.
