It’s always a strange feeling when a public persona or celebrity passes away….perhaps because we grow up viewing these people as larger than life. Untouchable in a way.
There have been a few celebrity deaths that have saddened me in the past few years, as if parts of my childhood departed with them….but none have shaken me as much as the passing of Anthony Bourdain. I’m writing this the day after he was found dead, and yet still half of me won’t…can’t accept that it is true.
