I know it's after midnight but I've been out with my purple people celebrating the life of one Prince Rogers Nelson.This week is bittersweet for me because I would rather Prince be alive but in his abstance I've gained lifelong friends.Just like on the anniversay of his death I shared my thoughts I will do the same with his anniversay of his life.

Yesterday I tried to write a novel but I didn't know where to begin

So I laid down in the grass trying to feel the world turn 

Boy loses girl in rainstorm a nuclear world war 3 

All's that's left is pain and sorrow as far as he's concearned 

That is the first verse to Moonbeam Levels, sounds like a drug addict right? I say no I grew up in Cleveland,Ohio I've known drug addicts all my life and they don't care about shit but getting high. My brother is an addict and he called my sister the minute Prince's " autopsy" results were released and said bullshit a pinch of Fentanyl will kill you no way he lived long enough to consume that musch.At 4 years old I seen Purple Rain I decided then he was my husband at a time I hated boys that weren't family. I didn't understand til much later how gorgeous he was.When I grew up Prince/MJ was a debate you picked a side and my side was purple not even close. I'm almost 40 this making then into some combined person is obsurd to me.Two men who weren't friends or gay have became gay lovers at a time were people are supposed to respect who you are as a person. A straight black man. In Don't Play Me he said I use proper english and I'm straight", but I degress. No one made me feel such emotion through music happiness, sadness, love, hate, loss, victory,etc. You made it ok to be unapologeticlly me.You were in touch with your femine side but at the same time left no doubt you were all man.Master too many instruments to name, voice of an angel, beauty crafted by the very hands of God himself the closet thing to perfection we will ever see.I never thought we would lose you even though I know better. We all watched you ebrace God connect us to his word on a deeper level at a time when spirituality is dying in this world. You faced things in life that would break most people but it only made you better. You told us once The Beautiful Ones You Always Seem To Lose but what you didn't tell us is one day that Beautiful One would be you.

Rev 21:4 Says He will wipe away every tear from our eyes and death,mourning,pain and outcry will be no more the former things have passed away. This brings me comfort knowing maybe someday I'll see my Tracy again, you were right about so many things the kind of car you were don't pass us everyday. All over this world people laughed,cried,danced and sang with best friends and complete strangers all because 60 years ago June 7th God allowed us to borrow you for a short while. Who knew that shy little boy people seem to throw away or turn their backs on would have been the very defination of music as we know it. They say what you give to the universe you get back,you gave so much I don't see how it was possible to give it back. When I play songs of yours people never heard of and they comment on how much they enough I'd like to think your somewhere smiling knowing that one more person knows your much more than Purple Rain.We all wish sometimes life was neverending but on 4/21/16 we found out all good things never last. Happy Born Day Pookie thank you for being you because it allowed me to be me and not be ashamed that was the greatest gift you could ever give me and all lost kids like me wouldn't be here without you. I wish I could have told you this.I don't have to say I miss you cuz I think you already know. Tonight I cry for love Tears Go Here

I Love You Always

Miss You Always

And Will Love You Until The End Of Time
