💔💔heart broken to have to say goodbye to @bobweir today. Since I was 13 years old, I’ve lived for the music and legacy of The Grateful Dead. I’ll never forgot seeing Jerry Garcia for the first time in 1994 at Giants Stadium with Bob Dylan. Damn I was a lucky 13 year old! I wore my best tie-dye, took my first puff off a joint with some dude and his granddaughter and thought…oh I get it. I know who I am and where I fit in. The culture and the music spoke to me so clearly. No matter where life has taken me, I’ve always had their music and a cozy dead shirt to cuddle up in to feel I’m home. What a gift we got in 2015 when Dead and Co gave us this new chapter! I loved it! I love John Mayer, I loved seeing Bobby crushing on stage! I loved bringing new people to the music and the scene. I feel so lucky that I got to experience my final show with my husband. I wish I’d made it to Vegas these last few years, but motherhood challenge that plan, but watching my son enjoy the music and ask to wear his own dead gear, is the best! This band brought people together in a way that spanned generations, their music reminds of a time where we demanded change and demanding love and peace was an act of revolution! I’ll always wish I was there from the beginning, but I’ll keep the music with me forever. Saying goodbye to Bobby feels like the end of this chapter…? But I’m smiling imaging him seeing Jerry, Phil, Pigpen, Donna Jean and so many others and the incredible music they get to make together again. 💔💔💔#deadheadforever
To say 2025 was a year that challenged me is an understatement. I learned so much, loved so hard, and let go in ways I didn’t know I was capable of. I’ve felt the raw nerve of a world in turmoil, transition, and sometimes just not nice. I’ve held space and taken space where needed. I’ve cheered and cried. But as I woke up this morning, lying in bed between my son and my husband, I felt as at home as I think is possible. So I’m choosing to call in endless possibility this year. 2026, bring it, I’m ready. ❤️❤️
