Dolly, I’m not sure what we are going to do without you 💔
Your rhinestones, huge heart & humor gave me permission to be more. To be colorful. To be over the top. To dream big, laugh at myself, and never apologize for taking up a little extra space in this world.
I’m heartbroken today. But I also feel so incredibly lucky to have lived in a world with Dolly in it.
Thank you for the music. Thank you for the joy. Thank you for the generosity. Thank you for the rhinestones and the glitter. And thank you for showing so many of us that you never, ever have to make yourself smaller to make other people comfortable.
I promise I’ll keep choosing the sparkle.
