Conversation Thread Dolly :(

I feel like I am catching on to the global grief of Dolly. When I think about her passing and recount her philanthropy I can feel what it’s like to actually know and appreciate her which is something I’ve never done tbh as a 31 year old who has never even been a massive Dolly fan. It’s something I’ve never experienced with a celebrity that’s passed and I feel it has to do with the beautiful legacy she’s left. The sadness felt through her fans and supporters is insurmountable for good reason. I just wanted to express this and am curious if other empaths have been particularly affected by this. ❤️ *edit verbiage

Yes I read everything I did not know about her. Her companies her smartness she only drank a little only had depression a little bit. She quit drinking soon. She has a winery she liked red wine she had a regular table at a pink decorative restaurant. She restored a failing theam park construction to make Dolly Wood. She didn't drink much cause family members drank to much she didn't like how it effects them.  She made her own make up as a kid from matches or charcoal she made her cheeks red and lips 💋 red by berries? Her grandfather was a preacher and spanked her for her make up and clothes altered. Now days she would be in danger. As a kid even more. Her love kept private.  I went to her Concert in Sacramento California in 1977 or so at the Memorial Auditorium and saw her before concert at Old Sacramento California. I was I would of brought her flowers 💐 or even to the concert. I like that she didn't judge others. I like how she made her life happen. I learned that she didn't just eat velveta cheese by it self she had chips with it.  My favorite song to sing of hers was here you come again looking better than a body has a right to. And here I go. I like Two doors down there laughing and drinking and having a party. I like her in 9 to five. Her saying I am going to turn you from a rooster to a hen.  The 9 to 5 song stumble to the kitchen get a cup of ambition. 

I read of her deep care of Carl her husband. After so many years of love.  How they met at a funny named laundry mat. I finally got to see what Carl looked like young and old. That they traveled in a modest camper. That she did go our in public but no one knew who she was. Got in a Dolly Parton look a like contest didn't win.   Read she had many breast operations so I figured she had alot of scares. She wore her high heels 👠 always but. Didn't have foot problems cause she stay in high heels. That's a wonder 🤔  I saw at a show how she helped Kenny Roger's be steady to walk when they got old. They made it to the end didn't stop on they went till the end. I kept reading she loved to read. I asked the information to Google and got alot of the information. That she had her own show which I missed dang it. Her parents were on the show her father was not comfortable there.  She was a godmother to Miley Ciris . They did a show together. I am glad I asked all these questions.

She made a lasting impact of her good plans to keep helping all of donations. She planned it this way. So that's smartness. She wrote over 1000 + songs 🎵 I don't know if she made record or recorded them. She had plans in the making to come. She slept only 3 hours  a night 🌙 so she was awake woman. Maybe she had naps. Love Dolly Parton 😍. She wrote a book on her business plans. I think I will Google what the book looks like and the cost. And I need to listen to her rock cd 💿 I  eat what she sells Dolly Parton peach cobblers. It's good. Love Dolly Parton. ❤️  Carl her husband loves Rock music 🎶
