Maybe it is our age and our own mortality. Maybe he just had that much impact on everyone. Maybe it is a result if him keeping his illness so secret that his death was such a shock, but I have felt the past couple of days that I have lost a family member. And I am no fangirl by any stretch of the imagination. I like some stuff, and appreciate him in general, but I don't own anything he did, not even the duet with Bing. It is soooo odd! Hugs to you! And here's to a successful January!
