Today marks the day a little bit of light was taken from here but welcomed into the gates of heaven.

It's rare when I'm left speechless, but these past three years I have become very quiet on the 21st of April. Not because I'm over sad, but rather numb. Almost in denial that my friend is gone. I say my friend because that's what he is to me, more than a favorite artist, more than a famous man that I had a crush on. Prince was my friend, one I never met yet one I know I could spend eternity talking to. I miss him. I miss the fact that I could wake up and wonder "Wonder what he's up to now?" I miss knowing that he would release more music, or present awards or just simply being him. I miss that feeling of knowing he was here. I took it for granted, looking back now. But I had an idea that he was going to be around forever. Sometimes we get to comfortable with the ideas what we are human and that we will die, and I thought the same thing about Prince. My Mom once asked "What will you do when Prince dies?" And I told her "I'm pretty sure I'd die long before Prince will die." I was wrong. And it's taken me a long time to understand that death is natural, something not to be feared. Doesn't make it any less heart breaking to go through though. Prince's death made me realize that death does not care who you are, what you mean to people, everyone has their time and while we think it isn't, it just is their time to leave. We are put on earth for a reason, Prince served his purpose and God was calling him home. Prince was ready, I believe. He was in pain and I am thankful that he is with God with no pain and where no sorrow of life can touch him. His body is glorified, his spirit is praising God in eternity, Prince is more alive than he has ever been and praise God that he is at peace. I get sad, I wish he never left, I wish I could have met him but I am thankful Prince is with our savour.  I feel his presence in the sunshine, in the wind blowing through the trees, in church, I feel him everyday and I feel peace. I miss my friend, like we all do, but I'm happy for him. He is dwelling with God without pain, without sorrow, without fear, without troubles. Prince is celebrating in glory. Let us celebrate down here to. Let's all sing for Prince today.
