There are moments in life when an event occurs exactly where it happened. When the noise of the world fades into a whisper. When the heart falls silent before the mind can comprehend what the eyes have just witnessed.
Today is one of those days.
A true legend has passed away.
And when you realize who he is, when it truly impacts you, the tears don't just flow. They flow.
Not because that person was simply famous. Not because their name was popular on television or appeared on newspaper front pages for a few hours.
But because they mattered.
They mattered for a generation.
They were imported for the family.
