My heart is broken.

I just received an email about a friend/fan passing. His name was Frank, and I didn't know him that well, but I loved him so much from the moment I met him in Eugene years ago. He was a beam of light, a beautiful man, and he encouraged me so much with my music. I am truly devastated. My heart is so heavy for his family and friends. I send out blessings and love to you Frank.

What's bizarre is that I felt sad all day and only just received this email. The past week has been heavy. This confirms the energy I have been feeling. Plus, my mother (who suffers from MS) is extremely ill with the flu and so is my sister and nephew. I am still shocked from the crash, even though it's been several days. All of a sudden life seems way too short.

I am missing my apartment in Boone and my friends and my family. I am feeling lost out on the road, even though I am surrounded by love out here. I have close people everywhere now, but there's a part of me that wants to settle a bit, grow some roots. When things like this happen it shifts your perspective so much.

Please take this moment to share your gratitude, knowing that it's a very delicate life we have and each second is precious.

I love you all,
Amy
