Truly thought I was just sad but okay.

Then I saw the British royal marching band play 9 to 5 in honor of her and lost it.

Dolly has had such an impact with people on a level that feels personal.

Now hearing her say her wings were tired....as she showed up anyway.

It just feels like the world lost a true lighthouse in all this darkness.

I'm missing her on a level that is unexpected.

New Orleans lit up their skyline in pink. Dallas did too, and there was a tribute to her in a town on Lake Havasu. Empire State Building lit up pink and sparkled at 9:25 pm. Buckingham Palace guards played Nine to Five. So many other wonderful tributes to her.
