It's always good news to open my mailbox and see a notification of a track getting attention and hitting the 1000 streaming marker ( or more ). I always wonder who reached the goal before opening the mail and it being revealed to me.
This time however I was flooded with a lot of varying emotions: firstly shock to see his face after losing my friend only 2 short months ago; then joy and pride for his accomplishments still rolling in, which to me is a true testimony to this artists power and focus on edifying people with his music.
Though the wounds his loss caused were re-opened for a brief second, his message " I Am Not Afraid" soon reminded me that I too should chin up, stand up and follow in the footsteps of a person who loved and edified humanity.
Family hit the >> GO BUTTON<< and take a listen to the track:
