There are moments in life when an event occurs exactly where it happened. When the noise of the world fades to a whisper. When the heart falls silent before the mind can comprehend what the eyes have just seen.
Today is one of those days.
A true legend has left us.
And when you realize who he is, when it truly touches you, then the tears don’t just flow. They flow in torrents. 
Not simply because this person was famous. Not simply because their name was popular on television or appeared on the front pages of newspapers for a few hours.
But because they were important.
They were important to an entire generation.
They were imported for the family.
