A Part Of Me ...pt 1 I truly feel like a part of me died 2day. Which is weird 2 admit. Mainly because I shouldn't have such strong emotions 4 someone I never met. But...on the same token this person is pry the single biggest influence on my #life and has been for over 30yrs. I tell everybody seeing Purple Rain was my spiritual awakening. It literally gave me #life. A purpose a focus...I can tie almost every major experience in my #life 2 a Prince album. When I was a lonely fat kid with no friends & big dreams...there was always a Prince album. Everything I knew about girls...I got from Prince...everything I loved about music...I got from Prince...I found God thru Prince...so when I think of his passing & my eyes fill up...it's uncontrollable & natural I guess...cuz I'm losing a friend & an influence...a part of not just my childhood but my #life in general...it's like loosing ...I dnt know how 2 describe it...it's like loosing a part of me... 2 B Continued...

Thank you SO much for sharing this, and being open about having feelings you maybe "shouldnt" for someone who was a "total stranger". I had never in my LIFE cried over the death of a celebrity before... but when I heard that Bowie had passed, I BAWLED, and I was reduced to tears repeatedly for at least a week after. They were both beautiful, influential, MIRACULOUS men, and their music ALONE was an immeasurable gift to the world, but both were SO MUCH MORE than musicians... you and I are far from the only people who felt that deep, PERSONAL connection, and it is a rare ability to touch people so deeply. 2016 took TWO irreplacable souls from this existance... its almost too much to take at times... but I like to believe that they arent gone, but have gone ahead, and are having EPIC concerts in the afterlife, together.
