Dr. Yazeed, please accept my condolences. I love the concept of "good grief." Creating this showcase for your late son, Taye, is beautiful. I'm too far away to make it, but I'm buying a ticket because I believe in this work, Taye, and your spirit. Sharing this in hopes that others can pour in, whether it be in spirit or in person.

Thank you for sharing Taye with me. I am glad that you have found a "good" way to grieve for him and to honour his birthday requests and his love of music. But the pain and sorrow that you can't share this with Taye is there, isnt it. It's hard to fathom how somebody can be so gone and can take a part of you with them. I am sending you love and hugs, as you make magic in Tate's name but also, as you grieve and cry and fall apart, in his love and memory. As a functioning bereaved mother, life does go on, because it has to. But there is a Taye shaped gap for you, like I have a Neve shaped gap. A gap that sadly stretches, as time moves on. xxxx

Dr. Yazeed, my sincere condolences on your loss. Your desire to create this showcase in honor of your late son to support young musicians' dreams motivates and inspires me. Although I cannot attend the event, I donated equally to the ticket purchase to support your vision. I will also repost your message on my social media accounts to draw interest in the upcoming performance. God bless you.
