I'm not a linear person. Never have been, never will be.

Neither am I.....neither was Prince.

His loss is as profound to me as losing my blood brother. That's just the way it is.

I am at the "Acceptance" stage. With the understanding that I\it is not to say that I no longer feel the vast array of emotions brought on by Prince's passing on, but I am ready to embrace the idea that I am reaching a new point in my life. At this point, I am beginning to understand that there is a new beginning on the horizon.

But by NO means will I ever forget uncle P.

I don't know what the stages are, but I'm still sad.

We had dinner last night with some not-that-close friends and a lady said, "I know you're upset about Prince. Can you believe he was hooked on drugs?"

That made me really mad.

A close friend would have know better.. It seems like you didn't open a can of verbal whoop ass on her.

I guess I've moved on and accepted it. It still feels odd and somewhat sad if I really stop and think about it but heck, a lot has happened in my life over the course of those 6 months. The part I find myself still the most puzzled with is the part that says the story's over: no matter what we get from the vault, the journey ended with an album titled HitnRun Phase 2, a studio track titled Ruff Enuff and a live rendition of Black Sweat on piano.

I have to say I usually react well to death, I move on quite quickly when people die.

Wow, very cool.

I kind of did. But she's the type that would absolutely believe something she read in a tabloid versus what someone with experience and knowledge on the subject tells her. I knew that, so I just kind of vented for my own good.

Today is six months since we lost our Prince. We are all heartbroken and mourning the lost of such a great legend. I feel sadness because I know he is gone forever. The pain of loss cuts deep. There will never be another like him, but on the other hand, he left us all such a wonderful gift, a gift of music, which I shall cherish and hold near dear to my heart, always.

.

He is gone in the flesh, but will always be here with us in spirit. He had such an incredible energy and spirit, and that will never fade away. Music is just not the same without him. He was a pure genius & one of a kind. We were all so blessed to have him share his god-given gift with us. Whenever I hear a guitar, piano, drums; a funky beat, or that Prince scream (ohhh).....I will always think of Prince.

.

I'm so grateful that Prince was a part of my generation. He helped define a generation of music and beyond. His music is timeless. He will be remembered not only for his incredible music, his hair, fashion, but also for the wonderful human being he was. I miss his smile, his laugh. He was just an amazing person, in so many ways. He left us much too soon.

.

It's only been six months, but in time, the pain will be less, and we will be able to remember him with a "smile" and not a "tear". He has no more pain. He is in God's hands now. Love you, forever, PRN

Sad and really really angry with fans today People's priorities are really fucked up, they don't seem to know what is and isn't important anymore.

Good for you!

I've ended a couple of friendships with people after I told them off....then I realized that I should have done it before now anyway.

One more thing I can thank Prince for.

Well, if he's still with us.......I would be happier than a pig in mud!!!!

If he's alive......I hope he's safe and sound, happy & healthy, and knows how much we love and miss him!!

Yea, me too. My Husband can't believe how hard I'm taking this. I said "ME?" You should see some other people on the Org -- they are even more upset than I am!! For real.

.

We are all trying to get through this -- it's SO hard.

Yep, sure does. I think it will, for a while. Losing Prince will never be easy to accept.
