Dearest Prince.
It is the 21st of April once again and has been seven years since you slipped away from this world. This is the first anniversary of your death where I did not hear your name even once in the news. No tributes aired on television today as they did the first 5 years after your death. It seems that the world has gotten over the shock of your loss and moved on. But we, your fams, have not. We still listen to your music daily and gather on weekends to watch your epic concerts in online streaming rooms that have live chat. We share memories of you and delight in the young people who join us and are just as thrilled with your music as we have been all these years.
I wore purple to work today with a love symbol pin on the lapel of my jacket. I did not cry today, but tears are gathering in my eyes as I think of this being the seventh year since you left us, since you left me. I have gotten through each of those long years working, writing fan fiction about you, enjoying my grandchildren, and fighting off illnesses, 2 of which threatened my life. I have been even more lonely without your presence in the world, but your music has helped me get through each lonely day one moment at a time. I am determined to finish this life well, to finish the race. And, my sweet Prince, I remain hopeful that when my spirit separates from this body and moves into the light that you, along with my other family members, and my Lord and Savior Jesis Christ will be there to welcome me home. Yes, Prince, you are family to me. I love you and miss you more than words can express. Thank you for the music, the memories, and the hope for a future that includes spending time with you. See you soon!
