We Will Always Love you (A Tribute to Dolly Parton)

Dolly Parton showed us we could sail away — that there was no one standing between us and our own humanity, and that it was right to be who we were always meant to be. She taught me that opening your heart to love isn't just acceptable, it's a normal part of this condition we call life. She taught me that a sunset is God's coloring book. That faith is the absence of hatred and the acceptance of difference. That magic comes in on the wind, like change blowing across the holler. The world needs less hate and less despondency, and a whole lot more rhinestones and grace. I'm just a simple person trying to live the way she would want me to — to see the world in all its splendor and greatness, and to keep learning the lesson that love will always be love when you're willing to open your soul and let it in. This song is my thank-you. It's the only way I know how to say it.
