Lost me at: including other earlier 2016 deaths, that are not even .... sigh .... nevermind.

Disturbed me at: "Why didn't you punch a higher floor?"

Understood that these things don't translate well into words. Ugh.

4 The Tears In Ur Eyes -- such a beautiful song.

I both versions.

This was beautiful. Reflects how I feel as well. Thank you for expressing it.

Wonderfully said. Thank you for taking our thoughts and bringing them into words.

So beautiful!!!!

Rewatched that APRIL SNOWS instrumental tribute last night and the tears flowed all over again. U captured what we all feel perfectly.

Yes. Perfect Comment. Thank you very much! It's amazing how so many people have such similar feelings!

I dig it. I miss Prince

Yes, even 8 months later I still am grieving (along with the rest of you folks). I am going to go to Paisley Park in May so that I can be where our Prince was. I need to sit and listen to the doves cooing overhead, knowing that Prince heard those same sounds when he was there. I need to 'feel' his presence. I want to be in the same space where he made his music. I need to honor him with my tears that I know I am going to shed there. I need to pay homage to the greatest musician and ever lived and the most wonderful human being that the Powers That Be ever created. I will always have a hole in my soul that his passing made.

Thank u June7.

That was absolutely beautiful. Since Prince has passed, my life has 4ever changed. Not a day goes by without thinking of him. He gave so much of himself to us, that I am truly thankful 4 him being in our life’s 4 such a long-short time. Rest In Peach my Dear Angel, RIP

You made me cry. I'm generally doing better, but this just hit home.

Today at work a coworker wondered if 2017 would be any better than 2016. I replied that it has to be; it's not like Prince can die again.

I just miss him so much. The world is a worse place without him in it. Eight months ago today a little piece of me died with him.

Thank you so much for that. Thank you for your courage & resilience, tenacity to take the time and soul shaking effort to do something that I, as yet, can't face. And so thank you for lifting some of that atlasian burden for me, us for just a moment. Thank you also for not falling prey, giving in to the pyrrhic comfort of dogmatic 'pretty lies' and acknowledging the true, profound depth of our loss ...with hope. Thank you.

Tomos/June7

very nicely written. You expressed your thoughts well.

As a fan and follower every week. It is shocking that Prince is not longer with us. His music and art was so interesting. What you and Ben wrote really summed it up. Prince number one was human.

Sweetheart, I'm a 56 year old gay man and certainly not Prince's type and I get jealous of all of those women too! Prince was raw and pure walking sexuality and you and I succumbed to that side of him along with the sweet, shy side that he had. And those eyes......

I miss him so much. I know logically he's gone but my heart won't accept it. He should still be here. And why do I get jealous when I read about all his lovers...I haven't even met the man and if I did, I'm certainly not his type...53 year old plus size lady with blonde hair and blue eyes. These feelings are very weird

Truly very beautiful!

Wow, what a beautiful and touching read.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this.

I saw this originally on FB. Beautifully worded and I think it really sums up what so many of us have been feeling. Thank you for taking the time to write and share it.

Thank you for these posts. They are so perfect! I feel the same way. Life goes on but my life has changed forever. RIP Prince.

what a lovely beautifuful heartfelt eulogy u have written to/about Prince! Reading it brings big messy tears to my eyes.

If this helps you: I, the moron that I am, never saw Prince in person. I have liked or loved him since the early 80's; I've lived in a place where I could have seen him, but always let something get in the way (kids, work, money, fear of going anywhere alone, shyness, blah blah blah).

But you apparently espoused his greatness fully and first hand and I hope this brings you peacefulness and acceptance after the agonizing grieiving lessens.

Thank you for helping to keep his legacy alive. sorry for the little tiny letters.

A Fan

Live aid July 13th 1985. Tears go here
