- Description
- The page is part of a scrapbook. It includes a photograph of a group of people standing outdoors, possibly in a city setting with buildings and a crane in the background. The photo is bordered by a textured, brown paper-like material. To the right of the photograph, there is a handwritten note with a personal reflection on a recent event. The note is written in cursive and appears to be about a sculpture dedication and the emotions it evoked. The page is decorated with pink rose petals and other small, colorful embellishments. The top of the page has a piece of paper with the word "HOPE" written on it.

- Transcription
- Yesterday was the first sculpture of the Prince 29. The day started out at 70's and by the time of the dedication, it was freezing or very cold. The event was fairly well attended, cold, drizzly, windy, and it was bitter sweet. We're bum so close with those kids, to think that we have said goodbye and may not see them again, or maybe, is painful. Walk up in the middle of the night, filled with sadness. I watched Prince videos and really let the sadness flow. What a year. And then the kids and people in the crowd came.
