Jareth

   This morning at 2 am my sister Lisa texted my parents such sad news. One of my favorite musicians and actors died, David Bowie. 69 years old, 2 days after his birthday. He was my VERY first crush, my longest crush. He played Jareth in the Labyrinth. Swooning over him still nearly 30 years later. I have been fighting the tears. I never met him, never saw a concert of his. People decades older more attached to him with more right to mourn him, I feel like an impostor. Yet, I still am sitting here fighting the tears. His truly amazing soul will be so  missed, the world is duller today, I feel sorry for future generations to have missed out on this amazing person.
  Today I have realized the truly hardest part of growing up. It isn't the wrinkles or gray hair. The extra weight. It isn't the arthritis, or all of the physical ailments. It's slowly watching all the people we have loved, do love, leave...

  We'll all miss you David
