“Prince never, ever mentioned it except to say he wished he was taller so he coul…” — Mayte Garcia

For many years, people have encouraged me to share my story. Prince was loved the world over, but few knew him intimately. And ours was a rare, almost otherworldly connection.

My past was so amazing. It's that fine line of appreciating it and letting it go. I have my animal rescue, and I have my daughter and my family that helped me move forward.

I just don't like to have bad energy with people.

I believe a child dying between a couple either makes you stronger, or it doesn't.
