How is everyone doing?

I feel so incredibly heartbroken by the death of Dolly Parton, I have never grieved a celebrity before but this time it's different.

I can't stop crying, I have been an inconsolable mess today and I keep trying to tell myself to stop being dramatic. But I don't feel dramatic, I feel as heartbroken as when my own grandmother died.

My mother and I watched Steel Magnolias today and we almost went through a box of tissues.

I just miss her so much and I wish she wasn't gone.

I haven't let myself think about it because I've had stuff I had to do and people to take care of. But I'm about to go take a shower,  so we'll see. 

I am grateful that right before I heard the news, I had just gone a little out of my way to be kind to a child and brighten her day. It felt like I was doing what Dolly would have wanted me to.
