Some voices become part of your life.
Dolly’s voice has been part of mine for as long as I can remember.
Through teenage love, heartbreak, divorce, new beginnings, beautiful memories and the moments when life simply hurt.
From I Will Always Love You to Rockin’ Years… her songs somehow always seemed to find me exactly when I needed them.
But I loved Dolly for so much more than her music.
For the woman she was. Her strength, her humor, her kindness, her love for Carl, her loyalty to where she came from, and the way she showed women that you can be soft and powerful, glamorous and smart, loving and fiercely independent — all at the same time.
Her songs hold pieces of my life.
Memories of who I was, who I loved, what I lost, and the woman I became.
Today the world lost an extraordinary woman.
But some voices never really leave us.
Thank you, Dolly. For the songs, the strength, the tears, the laughter and the memories.
I will always love you. 🤍
