The 28th anniversary of losing you has affected me more deeply than I expected this year. I don't fully understand why, only that it feels deeply meaningful like something stirred for a reason. Maybe there's something I was meant to reflect on or something God wanted me to notice. I don't pretend to have the answers. What I do know, is YOU mattered and still matter to this day!! Listening to people who knew you and speak about your kindness, warmth, and generosity of spirit, I feel a quiet sadness I never had a chance to meet you in this life. It feels like having missed knowing a truly beautiful human being. You changed the way I understand what it means to be human to be open, loving and deeply connected to others. Your talent was extraordinary, not only in songwriting or performance, but in the way you reached people the way you made them seen and understood that kind of connection doesn't fade with time. You are remembered with so much love and will never be forgotten. You left something beautiful behind and it continues to live on and the hearts of people you never even knew you touched. I miss you more deeply than ever, and there will never be another you.
