Via the kindness of a stranger…
I am not sure how this happened but it did and I am truly moved. I am humbled by the kindness out there and completely amazed.
I found myself having a conversation with mnbucketlist on Twitter and we got to talking about how I felt that it wasn’t possible to get to Paisley Park from the UK.
She (mnbucketlist) lives in MPLS and kindly offered to leave a message to Prince for me at the grounds of Paisley Park. (She’s lucky enough to pass it daily).
I was completely taken aback by this kind offer and it took me a day or two to come up with what I wanted to say.
Well today it happened. My message to Prince, my goodbye, my thanks, is now hanging on the fence of Paisley Park with many many thanks to mnbucketlist!
I am so touched by this you cannot imagine.
Here’s my statement:
Prince. U R an inspiration. Eye can’t believe Ur gone. U’ve brought so much joy 2 so many. U will be sadly missed but never 4gotten. Eye wish U heaven. Rest in Peace. Keith (Colchester UK) x
And here’s the card in place outside Paisley Park
Well that’s it then. I’m now a bucket of tears and mess. That was pretty fantastic of her to do for you. — This whole process of mourning the loss of Prince is going to take a really long time.
It was wasn’t it. So so kind. I am so humbled and pleased and touched and 100 other things…
Keith what a blessing! Love your note too, thanks for sharing! I’ve never visited Paisley Park and would have love to have a note posted! I just wrote about my history with music, with Prince songs and what an emotional experience to attend his last performance, would love it if you would check it out. http://www.spanishmossseries.com
I would like to visit someday too. I was so pleased and moved by this kind gesture. I’ll be sure to check out your blog. Thanks for the comment.

It is amazing isn’t it. I am sure we all have our part to play.
