Back in April 2017 we visited Graceland:

Growing  up the music of Elvis was a very normal sound in our home.  Even now when I hear his voice I become nostalgic and it warms my heart.  It reminds me of my daddy.  Singing, dancing and being silly.  So Graceland was a very warm and exciting experience for me.

Of course his home still looks the same as it did when he passed away in 1977.  To me it was incredibly gawdy but I guess that was the way the rich decorated their home back then.   Below are two examples.

I would like to remember Elvis the way I did when I was a child so I choose not to reference all the unpleasantness that ended his life.  I imagine it’s immensely hard being so famous!  His death was a big deal in our home.  Somber.  His music lives on in my soul and my heart!
