His songs made me cry when he was alive. They were always so down-right fucking beautiful without relying on conventional sentimentalities. I doubt you have to imagine how many tears have been shed the last few days. The world is certainly a grayer place without him in it, but I'll always feel my life is richer knowing he was here, sharing his phenomenal gifts with grace. He was the kind of friend even late-comers like me who heard his music first then was lucky enough to share snapshot moments, lifetimes within each, as the great man he was. In life, as in death, Carter always left you wanting more. Dear Cindy,
