Oh Allee, my sweet Puddin’ where did you go? The world fell away on Tuesday, never to be the same again. You made this planet home. You gave life to everything you touched. You brought joy to more people than you’ll ever know. You changed EVERYTHING for the better. It was just a few days ago we were planning our next escapade. Finally we had found the perfect collaboration, the perfect sum of our parts. You were so excited as since the first moment we collided you insisted we had to create something together but nothing could beat just being with you. Just “Being” with my sweet Allee. That was our best creation. One minute with you was a lifetime. You gave me everything. You changed my world. In the last month I kept on feeling like I had to tell you how important you were to me. I’m so happy we spent your 72nd birthday together and you got chocolate cake and ice cream all over my sweater.  

The idea of a life without you in it is too impossible to bear. Un-fucking-believable as you’d say. I ADORE you with every inch of this completely broken heart 💔

You would have been so delighted (and completely amazed) by this global press reception… thank Fuck the world has finally started to catch up with you:
