On the one-year anniversary of his death, while I'm working on a project about confronting fear and embracing joy, I thought I'd share again some thoughts from the day Lin left this world.
Thank you for this piece. I’ve been missing listening to Lin lately and have been thinking about all the music he introduced me to with a phrase like, “the best song ever written” or “the best song in the whole world.” And it was always a different song. Some I knew; some I didn’t. And he was always right. It was the best song. And he was the best morning friend I ever had.
I miss your Sun Times column and was so happy to find you here on Substack. I find your writing thought-provoking and often very moving. Today is no exception. Thanks for sharing your gifts with me.
