19 years ago today, Angelo and I were sleeping with our newborn - TopicsExpress



          

19 years ago today, Angelo and I were sleeping with our newborn baby Willow between us when the phone rang. It was our friend, calling to gently break the news that Jerry Garcia had died. The day we always knew would come but never wanted to face had finally arrived. Tears fell, mingled with leaky breastmilk. I mourned the loss of my beloved Jerry, even as I watched my baby unfold herself into life. Baffled, bewildered, so sad. Such a tragic loss. I think of how totally beloved he was, and yet the love of thousands of beyond loyal fans could not save him from the self destruction of his own demons and addictions. I remember so clearly being most upset that he died alone, in a bed not his own. It could have been different. It should have been different. Fare ye well, fare ye well, I love you more than words can tell.....
