“I miss you so much it hurts. Everywhere… but so did you. So often. So much main and no one would ever notice because of the smile and joy you constantly radiated. I am trying my best to celebrate your existence but I can’t help but just deeply mourn over your absence. All those texts I would receive, just of you saying that your praying for ME. How you were so selfless I’ll never understand.”

You were the only artist EVER, that I tried so hard to “sign”, was going to create a label just so YOU could be on it. No one has heard them and I hope to share at an appropriate time, but the records you were creating with @brandicarlile (where it all began , the story ) and my dear writer friend @ilsey were so magically beautiful JUST LIKE YOU…”
