When I heard the news yesterday evening my heart hit the floor, literally. Words can never describe how much Luther meant to me. I don't think I prepared myself for this day, even after the stroke. I just knew he was gonna recover!!! A part of me was waiting for someone to announce this as another hoax but the more I saw it on TV the more the walls came crashing in. I feel like I've lost a near and dear loved one. I have everything Luther has ever written and some. This man was my absolute favorite singer of all time and I don't think I'll ever listen to music the same. My sister called me to see if I was alright cause she knows how I am about Luther, I had to pull the car over and let the tears flow. I STILL can't believe it. His funeral will be a sad one indeed. First Rick, now Luther. No one will ever compare to Luther, no one. I can't imagine how his mother is feeling. All of his siblings preceeded him in death. Lord my Luther is gone. This man I grew up listening to in every relative's household. This man, whose songs I always said would play throughout my future wedding reception. I even fantasized about him being there in person to serenade my husband and I. This is too sad. Lord my Luther is gone.
