I’m devastated right now. I can hardly put it into words.
I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life. Dolly Parton was a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been to Dollywood countless times, The Imagination Library was probably responsible for me being able to read on my own at a young age, I had a lot of her songs on iTunes as a kid, etc.
I was in public when I found out, in the lobby of one of the buildings at my school. I found out on the RYM front page (embarrassing I know) and I audibly gasped. I know for a fact other people heard me, and I’m sure they understood what I was gasping about too. I started to notice other people around me learning the news too and their reactions. It was surreal. She was beloved all over the world, but especially here.
Rest In Peace, Dolly Parton. We will always love you.
Much Love!!
